Started the climb up the pass at 7:15 am. The grade was constant for 8 miles. The weather got worse as the morning moved along toward noon. By the time we reached the summit it was just above 32f and snowing. As the temperature warmed on the downhill descent the snow turned to rain and the warm asphalt created thick road fog forcing us to pull off the road for safety concerns. The temperature was 60f in South Fork and we needed some warm food. After eating we decided to ride on to Del Norte. We saw these little buffalo and their mothers on the way. A true sign of spring verses the snow we encountered earlier today.
