Today started out very nice.  Woke up in Pueblo, Colorado – breakfast at IHop. Yum!

We started the day on Route 25 to head to Denver, Colorado.  We picked up Route 470 around Denver, to Route 70 West and then through the Rocky Mountains.

Wow!  Unbelievable!

Until….the thunderstorms.

We had to stop several times due to poor visibility.  We did, however, carry on on our way to New Castle, Colorado.

It is difficult to describe in words what riding through these mountains is like.  It makes you feel very small in the universe. It also makes you realize the acheivments of man, being able to build roads through somehing created by something so much bigger.

We also went on a section of Interstate 70 called the Glenwood Canyon.

Again – Unbelievable!

Surrounded by stone.  Yet, “a river runs through it”.  The Colorado River runs along I70 for portions of the road.  Not other words to describe.  Just Unbelievable!

Mileage-wise, not a long day – 282 miles, but time-wise a really long day with all of the stops.

Tomorrow we head to Cortez, Colorado.
