As you’ve probably imagined, Betsy and I were on the road over the past couple of weeks. We had a fabulous trip out west, and I want to share an overview of our 5,455 mile adventure. The image above shows our trip on Google Earth.
We reached this Welcome Center in Colorado on September 13, 2012.
Our first major destination was Colorado Springs, where we visited Pikes Peak, the Garden of the Gods, and the Royal Gorge. We also met with blog friends Sally and Jim.
Betsy at the Continental Divide at Milner Pass, Rocky Mountains National Park. September 17, 2012.
We then went on to the Rocky Mountain National Park, where we were able to drive the Old Fall River Road which had been closed by snow when we visited last year. We also visited areas of the park that we didn’t get to last time.
Beehive Geyser, Yellowstone National Park. September 21, 2012.
Then it was off to Yellowstone. We got to visit many sections of the park, and would be hard pressed to name a favorite area. But in spite of all that we saw, we left many things unseen so we would have a good excuse to go back. We also met blog friends Linda and Doug while at Yellowstone.
Betsy at Mount Rushmore. September 25, 2012.
We started home by way of Rapid City, South Dakota, where we visited Mount Rushmore and Custer State Park.
It was a marvelous trip, and I’m sure I’ll have much more to share in the days ahead as I work through some of the 2,000 pictures I took!
