Is this with a GoPro camera?

I have a Canon Power Shot SD1300 IS, 12.1 megapixel, 4X IS Canon Zoom Lens, 5.0 - 20 mm, 1:2.8 - 5.9.

I learned from JCZ to wear a strap around my neck for quicker access. (Not always quick enough, but most of these shots were point and shoot at above 60 mph.) Strap not too long because the camera hitting will dent up your console.

I chose this camera because I can power it on while wearing insulated gloves (Gerbing). The Auto/Program/Video switch seemed to stay in the Auto setting where I need it to be 99% of the time. I aim it through the LCD viewfinder, roughly at times because I use reading glasses when not riding.
Works for the motorcycle.

It includes a true optical image stabilization system. I missed a lot of shots by keeping it out of the rain and snow.

Cost MSRP $200.00

Getting cold up there now, we had over 8" of snow last weekend at 8200". Was 82 here in town at 4900 this Saturday but 5 day looks cooler. I love that trip!

12 to 25 miles depending on who you listen to. A truly beautiful ride! Took it this spring.

Great pics! Love those Colorado Rockies! When the aspens turn gold, every switchback and curve brings you a new view that is postcard perfect. Crisp, fresh air. The smell of pine all around. Sounds of rushing water in the creek and a jay fussing from above. Crunch of rock under boots or tires....and mountainsides aflame with color. Thanks for sharing the pics!

Thanks for sharing the awesome pics.

I've travelled south, east & west of Durango and north, east & west of Grand Junction.

I plan on doing the in between next year - for sure!

You've given me another reminder of all that I've missed.

Thanks again.
