We drove through Denver and the elevation is about a mile, hence Mile High Stadium where they play football. But you would never know you were that far above sea level.
In the distance we could see the mountains. They are absolutely totally AMAZING! When we first entered them they were rugged and beautiful. Awesome does not even describe them. Of course they change at every bend in the road as does the sky. We had sunshine, clouds and very heavy rain. The rock formations were astounding and then there were smooth mountains with scrub brush on them which looked like freckles on the face of the mountain. Some looked like sand dunes, and layers of multicolored rock. A few were on a 90 degree angle and looked like someone or something had come along and tipped them over. The roads were excellent. Always at least two lanes in each direction, and sometimes three lanes in each direction. The sky always had some kind of clouds, but always many, many kinds of clouds. Once there was a huge cloud that looked like charcoal grey cotton batting and hung forward over the mountain edge like it would come down and pour rain on you. We got by that one, only to have it pour rain anyway, and I mean you could hardly see in front of you. The good thing is there was never a lot of traffic and sometimes in Utah there were no other cars on the road that you could see. Utah is different than Colorado and the mountains more rolling but then rocky as well. AWESOME!.
Now we are in Richfield, Utah, having our usual glass of wine and relaxing. They have a pool here but it is outside and closed because of the rain.
Bonnie and Joe still on the go.
