Spent the day working, getting in a couple of hikes along the easy trails circling the campground and just enjoying the warm weather. It would hit a high of 65°F (18.3°C) in the afternoon as I rode Skyline Drive one more time; this time under sunny conditions.

Motoring back towards the campground, I made a brief stop for this roadside attraction advertising a dinosaur exhibit/museum on US50 near the junction of the road that leads to the Royal Gorge Bridge and the campground.

Back at the campground, which I had all to myself again, I got some pics of Fiona and the nearby peaks as the cloudless sunrise cast the sky yellow.
Yes, I did get a pic of the Royal Gorge Bridge, as the
campground is less than two miles from the bridge.

Although I've another 24 hours remaining to me of the 72 hours max allowed for a single stay at this campground; not sure if I'll take advantage of the last 24 hours....we'll see tomorrow.

Nature outdid itself again with this gorgeous sunrise / sunset, and its awesome scenery in between. You are so lucky to get it all. Good for you, Dom.
That first photo with the beautiful, blue sky looks fabulous. Did it look like that in person?
SonjaM, Mother Nature did pretty well with the sunrise and sunset....
RichardM, yes, it was that colorful. No color saturation/vibrance added during post-processing...some dehazing I recall.
Nice to see the rig with some touristy type things.
Really pretty sunrise with the tree composition in the photos.
Thanks Trobairitz, one wonders if they're put in place just to draw the tourists eh?
