We then continued up and over Black Sage Pass. There is wonderful scenery up that way!

We headed towards the town of Pitkin and crossed over Waunita Pass.

Town of Pitkin

Pitkin, Colorado

Pitkin seemed like a really quaint and relaxed little town in the mountains.

Cumberland Pass is a very high mountain pass. Regretably, it was fairly cloudy and hazy during our visit.
