2007 Colorado Trip

7-13-07 - Kennebec Pass

Last day of the trip :( It'll be good to get home but it's been a wonderful adventure! Today we rode Kennebec Pass just outside of Durango. The pass is at 12,000 feet and the wildflowers were beautiful. We hiked the Taylor Lake Trail from the summit, saw lots of Marmots and lots of great views. Also saw a herd of 30 to 40 wild Elk with everything from little ones to big daddys. They are large animals! Another fun day in Colorado and a great end to our excellent adventure!





 
Whew! Back in Greensboro after flying from Durango to Denver and then direct to Charlotte. Got bumped up to 1st class, SWEET! What a great trip! If you have never been to Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona or Utah, do it! If I knew what I know now I'd have been a long time ago. Definately worth the trip. The scale of things is HUGE, you just can't imagine and it's impossible to capture the real thing on camera. The mountains are so much more than what you have in NC, the desert is VAST, so big it's hard to take in, and the wheeling is some of the best I've ever seen! In the words of the honorable govenor of California, "I'll be back!"
 
There is a place in greensboro called Mastercolor. Have her take her favorite pics over there and let them blow them up. They can do anything you want with digital or film. They do a great job and are not as expensive as you would think. You can get a 16" x 20" enlargement with foam board backing for less than $20.
