Beartooth Pass between Red Lodge and Cooke City.
Must be somewhere near Miami. Only place warm enough to get that much snow.
I had a month in Colorado, Utah and Wyoming in May three years ago and Bear Lake still had some ice cover and the Rocky Mountain NP was closed due to snow drifts and snow storms. So little has changed.
I hope you’re not really trying to claim this is an unusual May view of Trail Ridge Road! 🙂 It takes six weeks to plow, and it often has to be shut down again after the spring opening so they can re-plow the late storms. More views at http://www.coloradoan.com/article/20110604/NEWS0101/106040361/.

It’s in the alarmists trash folder.
I figured it wasn’t Going to the Sun as it isn’t open and wont be for awhile as you can see in the photos in the link below. I thought this quote under one of the picks was very interesting “The snow we are seeing at this time of year rivals or exceeds anything current staff have seen in their careers.”
When looking at some of those pictures remember that there is a road somewhere in the photo!

I was going to guess Chinook pass near Mt Rainier…as it looked just like that when I rode thru last Friday.
Trail Ridge Road: Just flew over it this morning and was quite surprised to read that it was open. There’s a lot of snow, for Colorado. I wouldn’t be surprised by the 1943 claim.
Sonora Pass (SR108) is open according to the CalTrans sign at SR120 junction. Today seems to be the first somewhat warm day in a long time. The network radio news outlets are trying to whip up the warming hysteria, only briefly mentioning at the end of their ‘news’ stories that the official start of summer is only 2 weeks away.
WOW! I’ve lived in Colorado for over 30 years and only seen snow pack like that on the front range in old photos.
I’m late on the post because I’m doing my part to help out Japan by spending my hard earned dollars/yen in Tokyo and Osaka.
Thank goodness the sun is finally out (for real), it looks like the rainy season may finally be over in at least the southern parts of Norcal. It remains to be seen if or when temps will get back up to normal (they are still below).
Immediately thought Trail Ridge road when I saw the pic.There is also a 4×4 road up the backside. I wonder when that will open. The streams must be raging about now.

Trail Ridge Road. I’ve driven that stretch a hundred times; maybe a dozen right after the traditional Memorial Day opening, wh. is very late this year. The missus & I must drive it this weekend!
