Sangres from Westcliffe

Post by Boggy B »

Hi,

Does anyone have a recent (4/25 or 4/26) photo of the Sangres from the Westcliffe area they could share? Adams area would be perfect but any view of the east side of the range will do.


Thanks!

Three or four days ago when we had the storm Alavardo camp area got 22" of snow but it's melting fast. The snotel site at 10,800 feet up S.C.R. showed 32" a couple days ago. I know the road was muddy but can't tell you how muddy.

KWMV has a link to a webcam north of town, facing SW. Good visual source for current conditions.
