JungleJim , in No better way to wrap up a week than to watch the sunset with a beautiful view and hearing the birds sing

That looks like the Rio Grande in New Mexico! Did you happen to stay at the Bosque Birdwatching RV Park? I miss that place

buffy OP ,

That does look like Rio Grande in New Mexico, indeed! I remember seeing videos of the place and thinking "damn this looks a lot like Colorado".

But to answer your question: no, those pics were taken in Colorado!

Oh hey! I thought that looked familiar.

buffy OP ,

That's neat! The first peak you can see from right to left is Bear Peak, in Boulder. If you look more to the left from the top of Mt Morrison, you'll be able to see Apache, Kiowa, and North Arapahoe peaks, which can be seen from where I was.

JungleJim ,

Oh cool! Not terribly far, then.
