... behind tomorrow and get back to van living. We are heading into Boulder in the morning to do some exploring and hit the first brewery in Colorado, for our stately brewery visit. From there were going to drive to northern Colorado and camp it up and at one of trusty KOA's making us that much closer to South Dakota. <br><br>Till next time, <br><br>The Happy Chappy Couple<br>

... no guardrails. And people actually live up there! I wished I had a pint and some anti-anxiety medication because I was definitely experiencing some anxiety! We got to the Mount Evans gift shop/visitor center/restaurant and then headed up to the very top of Mt. E which was definitely the scariest drive I&#8217;ve ever been on. Ever. My hands were sweating the whole time and my heart was pounding&#8230;I definitely could not have driven! This part of the ...

... br>down we passed lakes, waterfalls and had the most gorgeous scenery of snow-capped mountains. The first 10 miles were on a paved path where there was no motor vehicle traffic. The last 8 were a combination of road &amp; the Gore Creek Path. If you do not have a free shuttle or driver to the top you can set up a tour with Charter Sports for $45.<br><br>To add excitement to ...

We had dinner at Up The Creek<br>which is more of an "up-scale" restaurant. It was a little harder to find as it was set off of the main road directly on the creek. <br><br>I'm not the most adventuresome eater, so there were limited items on the ...

Our resort offered a free shuttle service (departing at 9:00 am) to Leadville so that we could take the 10:30am Leadville, Colorado &amp; Southern Railraod to the top of the mountain and then tour the town. It was perfect weather for the outing and I enjoyed the panoramic views during the<br>ride on the railroad. Afterwards we had lunch at Callaway ...

... international and invited us to stay with them. It is a far cry from a Marriott Vacation Club, where we normally stay, as the decor &amp; rooms areslightly dated, however, the staff was pleasant and the condo was clean. The resort also provided daily activities that really did make our trip wonderful. We did not really spend much time here, so I do not have too much more to add regarding this accommodation.<br><br><br><br><br>

... Well, it added another to my exponentially rising fall count. To get to the next lift, the Highland Express, we had to take a catwalk: an area comprised of mainly flat zones. Contrary to what I assumed would be a nice walk in the mountains, I was soon corrected and the experience became one of the most frustrating in my life. The Brisk Walk Catwalk Flat terrain is no place for snowboarders; there is absolutely no ...

We left our campground in Longmont this morning, drove through Denver, and have spent the last couple of hours driving through the breathtaking (literallly!) Rocky Mountain Highs. The contrast of the bright yellow aspens againsst the deep greens of the evergreens has had me snapping away with the camera - will try to get some shots uploaded this afternoon when we stop for ...
