This was mostly a lay-low day, but we took a brief road trip through the mountains west of Denver. Local guides suggested that Guanella Pass, an hour or so west of the city, would be an especially scenic route. It was.

Word to the wise … this is a very windy road. If lots of switchbacks are not your thing, this is not your road. I, however, quite enjoyed it!

Here’s a sample of the scenery that we enjoyed.
