Last November my wife and I got the travel deal of a lifetime: $20 tickets (each way) from Columbus, Ohio to Denver, Colorado. If you live in Europe $20 may not seem like an amazing deal, but here in the US cross country travel usually cost around $300.
We skipped classes for a few days and made a quick 5 day trip to go my brother and sister in law who were living in Pueblo.
All of these shots were taken from our attempted hike to Blanca Peak- which stands at 14,344 ft, or 5,325 m.
There are 58 "14ers" in Colorado and anyone who is into hiking tries to summit as many as they can.
Unfortunately we were only able to hike to about 13,500 feet before we had to turn around because of a pretty heavy snow storm at the high altitudes. Luckily I was still able to get some pretty decent shots on our way!
These were all taken with a Canon t2i and a Rokinon24mm f/1.4.
Wow! I thought the first picture was black and white. So gorgeous! Well done :)
Thanks! Cool stuff on your page. I’ll give you a follow.
Thank you so much! Love your blog too. I will follow you back :)
Love finding travel deals like that. I've flown from Chicago to LAX for $54, then from LAX to PDX for $36, and back home for $42 by keeping an eye on Frontier and Spirit flights.
Nice! Yeah this deal was frontier.
Your photography is amazing! Gave you a follow :)
Thanks and thanks!

Thanks a lot!
I love how the snow makes everything beautiful. I am a photographer just new to steemit? Any tips on how to get the most out of the platform?
Thanks!
I’ve found that telling a story along with your photos helps bring exposure because it makes more people comment.
I’ll check out your blog!

Thanks, we couldn't pass the deal!
Ow that's absurd!
Ow that's a shame, sorry soryyyy
Awesome and beautiful. I love to see people relying on a single lens for a whole trip. It challenges you, but the results are very rewarding.
Yep, the challenge is fun but I think if I had the chance I’d take some more lenses!
Gorgeous photos, thanks for sharing @jrue ! I am a Colorado native, and live about an hour away from Denver, in Colorado Springs. I have never been to this peak, but will definitely add it to my list! I am going to also follow you for more awesome photos! I enjoy documenting my travels as well and seeing new places others have been to
Hey I’ve been to CS a few times.
Blanca was great but the first 5 miles were rough, just walking through a big rock field.
I'll bet! The best spots are never easy to get to ;)
True. This was more frustrating than difficult though!
oh yeah we talked about colorado already lol
Haha
These are great. Everyone in this community is making me excited to get out and travel again. Although, this place looks cold as all get-out.
