Excellent capture. Living in a city with all the lights in it, you never get to see the true beauty in the sky. This is unbelievable trail of the Milky Way. Thank you for sharing this beauty.

Fantastic shot. Nice work. Been there many times. Tried to get a milky way shot there too but it was too cloudy haha.

Loveland Pass is a high mountain pass in the western United States, at an elevation of 11,990 feet (3,655 m) above sea level in the Rocky Mountains of north-central Colorado.
It is located on the Continental Divide in the Front Range west of Denver on U.S. Route 6. The twisty road is considered to be especially treacherous during the winter months. A steep, steady 6.7% grade, along with numerous hairpin turns on either side, make it difficult to snowplow the road regularly
