Colorado (2010)
In October on our way to Arizona we travelled through Colorado. It was the perfect time of year – blue skies, snow-capped mountains, and yellow aspen trees. We spent a night in Johnstown (north of Denver) and the next day drove through Rocky Mountain Park on Trail Ridge Road. We spent our second night in Leadville at 10,000 feet. From there we drove through Cottonwood Pass and on to Montrose and Cortez. What a variety of geography, vegetation, and climate in those 4 days – from northeast Colorado to southwest Colorado.
