| In memory of... |
Colorado Rocky Mountain High!!! (I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky....) Listening (and singing along) to John Denver all the way from Aspen to Glenwood Springs.
But I digress, as I went to Grand Junction first and had a delightful time visiting another Roadtrekker. Grand Junction is the first major town as you enter Colorado from Utah, and is the beginning of what is called the Western Slope (of the Rocky Mountains). It has a fun downtown, and we were treated to an extensive music-filled Farmers Market (and some of the best nectarines I've ever had) after a yummy dinner at the Ale House. The ultimate treat though may have been my first Fly Fishing/Casting lesson. It was so much fun (Thank you, Quen!). See below for pics; I can't get them to post in the order I would like.
This morning I continued east, over to Glenwood Springs... and on up the hill to Aspen, which feels a bit like the 'Carmel of the Rockies'.

It's a sweet (and tony) town surrounded by beautiful mountains, and has some of the same mountain charm as Banff. I would have stayed over, but the temperature is predicted to drop to 27 degrees! So it's back down the hill for the weekend, where the Glenwood Hot Springs will be a treat, and a friend from Boulder is expected to arrive soon.
