My husband, Dan, and I decided to attend the event, Minis in the Mountains – Minis meaning Mini Coopers:
The event was held in Salida, Colorado. When you get to be our age – 55 and 63 respectively – you have taken enough road trips that it’s difficult to find a route that you haven’t taken before. But we found a stretch that was new to us. These were taken on Highway 89 north out of Flagstaff, Arizona.
Life is art!
More on Minis in the Mountains to follow. This was a fun trip!
(I am compensated for any purchases made through my links.)
So beautiful!!

It’s nice that you try to add interest to your trips by taking new routes. You and your hubby seem to be fun-loving explorers!
“Fun-loving explorers.” Yes! I like that description.
So pretty!
What fabulous scenery, I love all those stripes! I’m a firm believer that ‘getting there is half the fun’. A new route is always exciting and my Hubby tries to find new and fun ways to get places 🙂

Aren’t those sediment layers remarkable? Yay for alternate routes!
love the colours in those mountains
The photos of the mountains in Arizona came out beautiful! Thanks for sharing with us at #OMGHWW
Thanks so much!
Beautiful photos.
Thank you!
There certainly is a lot of geography on display in Colorado. I am visiting the other end of the state up in Steamboat Springs.
I bet Steamboat Springs is beautiful. I’ve not been there – yet.
Another Miniac!!! Come to Mini’s on the Dragon next May in beautiful western NC. Love your photos of the mountainside geology. I often post our Mini Cooper Club’s adventures here too.
We have talked about the Dragon. Long drive from Las Vegas, but we may get around and do it. We have been invited to Minis Meets the West in Victoria British Columbia next June also. So many Mini enthusiasts everywhere! In any case, I am going to follow your blog. (I use Feedly for following.) 😃
A lot of geology going on in those mountains! I don’t understand it all, but beautiful to behold. I’ve never driven a mini, but I’ll bet they are fun to drive.
The geology gets really crazy doesn’t it? I would have to say that this Mini is one of the best cars I have ever driven. Cute and comfortable, but with a ton of power. Drives like a sports car.
I’ve hear of boat rendezvous but never one for cars. What fun. – Margy
I hadn’t heard of car meetups either. My husband discovered it. And yes, so much fun!

Minis in the Mountains – cute! Love the layers of colors in the mountains.
Lovely layers of subtle colors – God is quite the artist!

Michelle – those mountains almost don’t look real – they remind me of sand art made by elementary kids! Amazing geology. Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday!
They really do!
This is perfect for Nature Notes. I don’t have anything like these mountains in my area. Beautiful and nice to take a road trip. Ours are now going to see the grandkids about 5 hours away and through the mountains in PA. Thank you for linking in… Michelle
I’ve not been to PA, but it looks like pretty country. Happy road tripping!
Hi Michelle….Welcome to Nature Notes..I love seeing different parts of the country and the world as I learn so much from other bloggers and make new friends. These mountains are so interesting in their layers of rock. ..Michelle
