The end of the road

We are winding down to the last hours of our trip. Tomorrow (saturday) is entirely a travel day. Last night, my brother Russ made and incredible dinner for us including 1lb ribeye steaks. This morning, we left Gunnison at 8am. We drove up through Crested Butte and onto the Kebler Pass. It's only open during the summer, but it's a definite shortcut even through it's not paved. You see a lot of scenery and terrain in Colorado driving just about anywhere, but you'll see a lot more by taking the lesser travelled road. But always find out from the locals of what is a good idea or not first.


When we arrived in Glenwood Springs, we went stright to the Glenwood Adventureland and Caverns. It sounds cheesy, but it was interesting. You begin by taking a tram ride to the top of Iron Mountain. At the top is an alpine coaster, a rock climbing wall, and a myriad of other attractions. The main attraction is the caves, which are grander than anything in the midwest.

Not sure if we'll update this blog after today, but if so, it surely will be after we get home. Thanks for listening.
