Photo @stephen_matera // Living in Washington State, the highest roads (paved or unpaved) top out at just over 6,000' in elevation. So it's amazing to me that there are roads in Colorado that you can drive to at over 11,000', like the 4WD road to this lake in Gold King Basin in the Uncompahgre National Forest near Telluride. Follow me @stephen_matera for more images like this from Colorado and around the world. #UncompahgreNationalForest #4WD
