Colossus of Rhode: Rocky Mountain High

Rocky Mountain High

Road Trip day 4, Wednesday: The word of the day seemed to be "wow," as both Amy and I said it a lot. I couldn't possibly do justice to everything I saw today in words, and quite frankly, even when the pictures are finally posted, even they won't really be able to do it justice. But a quick overview of everything I did today...

Woke up in Denver
Visited Buffalo Bill's grave
Hiked a mile from the aforementioned grave to the top of Lookout Mountain
Ate a picnic on the shores of Lake Dillon while surrounded by snow capped mountains
Had a one-sided snowball fight
Drove through Glenwood Canyon
Swam in the World's Largest Hot Springs Pool and went down the water slides
Took a detour in Utah on highway 128
Waded in the Colorado River while on said detour
Visited Arches National Park
Watched the sunset over the arches and canyons
Saw a shooting star over the mountains
Finally crashed in Provo, UT

All in all, a pretty amazing day.

I can't wait to see pictures, even if they don't do the day justice. :-)

hmmm, I probably screwed up as you have a bundle of relatives who would have been more than happy to put you up for the night. They all pretty much live in Orem, UT, but that's just a wee bit down the road from Provo.

On the other hand, it does sound like a grand and glorious day.
