Exploring Colorado

After leaving Vail last night, we headed to Leadville for the night. Leadville is, I believe the highest city in the Continental U.S. It was lovely to have a warm, dry place to sleep, along with a hot shower the next day. After breafast, we headed back to Buenna Vista, which if you remember, is where we spent last night on our tour. Buenna Vista has some of the best whitewater rating in Colorado.
In the morning, we drove up to Cottonwood Pass, so Mom and Dad could see what they had missed while in the U-Haul. This time, it was very clear at the top of the Continental Divide. We walked around a little, got some pictures and headed back down.
It turns out that it is much easier to climb one of these mountains in a car, but not as much fun descending.
