Colorado

We made most of our way back to Utah today, but this time via the “southern” route (i.e. I-70 as far as was reasonable).

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.

So, it turns out it’s a long way from Salt Lake City to Denver. We drove this over two days with a brief stop in Wyoming. Mostly it gave us a chance to catch up and talk and do some shopping. There were lots of wide-open spaces and we didn’t take much time to stop for photos.

After Taos, it was time for some high desert plains and some mountains. I landed this next night in the ski resort of Telluride.
