enter VALLEY VIEW

slept on a dirt road in the mountains & woke up next to this

can get cold in the higher elevations....windshield was frosted

driving south on hwy 285 from Denver pretty much gets you there

pit stop in Buena Vista to scope their new park

snow capped pivot fakie

from the park I walked down to the Arkansas & had a sit

this is the 7 mile dirt road that takes you to the foot of the mountain OLT aka Valley View

this is my favorite view looking back on the dirt drive in. OAK HOUSE porch

took to soaking pronto in the cooler of the 2 new APPLE pools

overview of my favorite new pool

There are many other soaking spots on the property, but since it's a nudist resort and since I've photographed the other pools in recent years, I didn't take many photos this year. Valley View is one of my favorite places in the world. I've shared the place with a few people.... My hope is that you will seek it out on your own based on my highest recommendation. GLORIOUS surroundings, openminded people to talk to, & varied outdoor activities to explore.
