Not one to miss a scenic drive, we took the Peak to Peak Scenic Byway from Boulder to Estes Park. Passing through the towns of Nederland and Allenspark. On the way, I read that several famous musicians, including Elton John, Dan Fogelberg, Chicago and Amy Grant, recorded at the nearby (but now closed) Caribou Ranch. (more…)
We drove through Boulder to see the University of Colorado. We stopped at the student center, called the University Memorial Center (UCM), to buy t-shirts. Both the town and campus are beautiful. If we had more time, I would have liked to take a tour at Celestial Seasonings. We did try to drive by the Boulder Dushanbe Teahouse, but the street was close due to a festival. (more…)
Although Salida is a small town, I wanted to highlight the scenery around the area. Leaving Black Canyon of the Gunnison NP, we continued east on Hwy 50. After the town on Cimarron, the road hugged the Blue Mesa Reservoir which was frozen in parts.
