| Leaving Leadville on Hwy 24 towards Tennessee Pass |
 |
| Tennessee Pass is near Old Camp Hale , a military training post from World War II that enabled training for forces to have "real" mountain experience. The 10th suffered heavy casualties during the PoValley Campaign in Italy. |
 |
| You can read more about Camp Hale...click the pic...they still use some of the area for training today. |
 |
| There are some remains of Camp Hale |
 | |
| some foundation remains of their entertainment hall |

| Everywhere you go here, is "pull over: let me take a picture" |
 |
| Aspens let you know that fall is not too far off..click to see |
 |
| A detour off the main road now...heading into a town called Red Cliff |
 |
| Looks like it has seen its better days some time ago |
 |
| Heading out of Red Cliff on a dirt road, well, really it is half rock. |
 |
| Don't think we will get out of the car, thank you |
 |
| At the summit of Shrine Pass |
