Default Canyon carving

I live pretty close to the foothills and find that just before sunset, when no one wants to drive towards the sun, is the best time to carve up a canyon in my corvette. South St Vrain is my favorite, not as well travelled as some of the others but great rock formations and tight twisties!

Anyone else here frequest the mountain twisties? It's what this car feels like it's born to do!

I just went to a casual cruise tonight with a new group. If you're on Reddit, check out http://reddit.com/r/denverautoenthusiasts

Never heard of Reddit, checked it out…. interesting.

If anyone is in the Boulder-Longmont-Loveland area and wants to meet up for some canyon carving, hit me up!

I used to live on the Peak-to-Peak highway, which can have HUGE potholes in areas……. so I know these canyons very well. My corvette is very low so I go for nicer roads only (no Boulder Canyon for me)

We are going to be doing a drive in the Mountains May 16th in the south part of the Rockies. Hope to have a blast with about ten to fifteen other cars.
I also live in Bailey so the mountain drives/carving is part of my commute when I take the cars out.

Yes, that South Platte area is beautiful!!! But far for me, anyone wants to run the northern canyons let me know

Lost of gorgeous twisty drives close to here, with very little traffic.

Carved up South St Vrain this morning and a little Peak to Peak HWY. Took some pics at a scenic overlook of Mt Meeker (Longs Peak is behind this massif).

Love twistin' up and down the canyons!
