Winter Park

Just got back from a weekend spent in Winter Park. It was closing weekend at the ski area and their village had live music with lots of people enjoying the sun and snow. Had a really great time

Colorado River Drive

The second day of our trip we drove along the Colorado river and saw some of the rock art sites. They are right on the side of the road. We also stopped at a site that had dinosaur tracks. It was a very interesting area.

Moab Trip

 

 

 This week we drove up to Moab, UT & visited Arches National Park. Ryan, Grant's brother, came along too. We did some cool hikes and saw a lot of the areas arches & rock formations. There over 2000 know arches in the park.

Beautiful Telluride

 

Yesterday we took a trip up to Telluride, CO. It is located right next to their ski area and even has ski lifts including a gondola that start in town. The colors were beautiful even though it was a little past peak. It has an elevation of 8,750, and has to be my new favorite town in Colorado.

 

 

Telluride has a free gondola from the downtown area up to Mountain Village. It is the only public transportation system of its kind in the US. Below is a picture of the downtown station where you board to go to Mountain Village.

 

 

Mountain Village was pretty awesome, with lots of shops, hotels, restaurants, and outdoor plazas. We sat at a café and had some drinks before we got back on the gondola and headed back downtown.

 

Trip booked...

Booked my trip for Wisconsin today. I will be there May 2nd thru the 6th for Grandpa's big 80th Birthday. Hope the season is a little further ahead than it was when I went last year.
