Day 12 -Leadville to Fort Collins

LOVELAND PASS PART WAY UP
It  was an another beautiful day to head up over the Rockies and onto Fort Collins. Soon after leaving, we headed up the Loveland Pass which reached almost 12,000 feet as well as being on the Continental Divide. Although instructions were given to not go through the Eisenhower tunnel, but to divert to the pass, most of the MOAers missed the diversion. However, once through the tunnel. they did come back up to the summit.
LOVELAND PASS SUMMIT
Once over the pass we entered the Rocky Mountain National Park and Construction delays Again we went up to over 12,000, only this time, it was straight down each side of the road, AND we had to sit at the summit for 20 minutes. It was quite scary,.
Members of the Fort Collins British Car Club were to meet us at the Estes Park Visitor Center, which they did, but we didn't make it in time, due to construction delays.
