Road Trip 2013 - Day 5 - June 15 - Colorado
Saturday marked a major milestone on our road trip. After five days on the road we were to make it to our Colorado base near Mesa, CO where we would stay for a week and do trips within its area before starting the return leg of our trip. The Mesa, Colorado base would split our trip into three separate phases: 1) Buffalo, New York to Mesa, Colorado 2) Colorado and Utah exploration 3) Return to Buffalo through a southern route via New Mexico and Texas.
We started the final approach near Denver and quickly found our way to the Rocky Mountains via I-70 ...
... From my previous short visit to the Denver area I knew about the great views along US 6 so that was where our next detour from the Interstate led. We were soon rewarded with some beautiful views of the snow capped peaks around us. And driving the winding road was rewarding too, much better than holding the steering wheel straight on a freeway. As we were climbing to the 11,990 feet we passed a group of bicyclists doing it in a more rewarding way ... Road Trip: The Continental Divide at Loveland Pass, Colorado.
