Oh, those Rockies!!!
Oh, Those Rockies!!!
Breathtaking panoramic views,
everywhere you look! Snow-capped peaks jutting into the
horizon. Canyons, mesas, scrub bushes, desert sands, red rock!
All of these words describe the terrain of Colorado. In our
visits we have seen much of the majesty that songs are written
about and yet we see more each time we go. Many people think of
Colorado and the ski country comes immediately to mind. There
is so much more to Colorado than the ski slopes!We will always
remember the Royal Gorge, not only because of the incredible
view but because of the bridge and the work that went into it!
We will long recall the gondola ride across the canyon. The ride
down the side of the gorge was unforgetable, as well.
Garden of the Gods is another part of Colorado that stands out.
The color of the rock is startling and the rock formations leave
a lasting impression on your mind. It is easy to understand
where that name came from.
Motoring through the mountains and feeling how small we are
is thought-provoking. The sky seems endless and the mountains
surround you with their strength. It is an experience unrivaled.
The wild sheep we observed grazing on the mountainsides,
along with the elk feeding in Estes Park near the Rocky Mountain
National Park show us how well these animals have adjusted to
man's presence.
I just want to keep going back! There is more to see every
time we go. If you ever have the opportunity to go to Colorado
don't pass it up!
