Utah to Colorado








We drove from Zion to Grand Junction, Colorado yesterday and again saw some beautiful scenery. Grand Junction was very hot. We left early today and drove to Vail and spent about half a day there looking around and riding the gondola. The weather was so cool, ranging from the high 70's to low 80's. On the way we stopped at a rest stop right on the Colorado River and watched some white water rafters. When we got to Vail we walked around the village, ate lunch at The Blue Moose Pizza Restaurant, and rode the gondola up from an elevation of 8,120 feet to 11, 570 ft. Vail is the second largest ski mountain in North America. It was really beautiful in the summer, and I am sure it is in the winter as well. We saw a lot of bike trails and wished we had time to ride, but we had to get on the road again. Tonight we are spending the night in Goodland, Ks and will be in Norton, Ks tomorrow to show Bubs around his grandpa's hometown.
