It has been about one year since the Colorado trip, so pics are long overdue. I thought we should post a few of the highlights before we get two sets behind. It only takes one trip to get hooked on this beautiful part of the country. We started planning our next visit while still on this one. Of course, traveling with my very own "Indiana Jones" is what made the trip truly special. This was a trips of firsts. I saw virga for the first time, went fly fishing for the first time, and the trek to the top of Pike's Peak was an interesting (and fun) first. The little theatre in Creede was adorable, and the show wonderfully entertaining. A most memorable moment was fly fishing and turning around to see a herd of cattle staring at me from the bank of the Rio Grande. The Air Force Academy was gorgeous, inside and out. Climbing up and into the cliff dwellings at Mesa Verde was a fascinating, and somewhat spiritual, experience. Of course, the best part was always dinner back at the cabin (the catch of the day) and snuggling next to the fireplace and enjoying the breathtaking view.
For a little Heaven on Earth, find a nice spot beside the Rio Grande (at night) and kick back and listen to the ripples while gazing at the stars.
