Let your merciful ears, O Lord, be open to the prayers of your humble servants; and, that we may receive what we ask, teach us by your Holy Spirit to ask only those things that are pleasing to you; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who with you and the same Spirit lives and reigns for ever and ever. Amen.
The Alpine Loop is a rugged 4×4 road in Colorado’s San Juan Mountains. Climb to 12,800 feet, explore old mines and ghost towns, wildflowers and abundant wildlife. With no services or cell signal, it’s a pure backcountry adventure.
