... a little bit of paradise in the Rockies...

There are many things to do in TinCup to keep yourself occupied. From driving over the numerous mountain passes in the area to just sitting on the back porch of the house and watching the world go by.

My favorites are driving over the passes, hunting for wild mushrooms and taking long hikes through the woods and up the mountains.

All of these activities afford the opportunity to take pictures. And there is never a shortage of things to photograph.
