Colorado : Ouray County "The Switzerland of the West" (post 3 of 4)

While in "the Switzerland of Colorado" (or Ouray County) we enjoyed jeeping from Ouray to Telluride, horseback riding on the trails, white water rafting down the Umcompaghre River, and swimming in the natural hot spring.
There are plenty of fun activities and scenic views to see and do here in Colorado.
This is a majestic place to visit!











Colorado fun is spectacular in July!

Colorado : Parks and Canyons (post 2 of 4)


Our first stop on our adventure to Colorado was the Royal Gorge!
Here are a few pictures of us riding the gondola across the Royal Gorge. 
Brian and I did the highest zip line in the US here!!!
We caught a magic show, had lunch, and climbed through the tree house.
Then on to the Black Canyon of the Gunnison in Colorado. 
So much beauty that can not be captured in a picture, so go see it with your own eyes!







The KOA in Cannon City has been one of our favorite stops!
We hope to come back here.

Colorado : Goodland, Kansas and the Continental Divide (post 1 of 4)

On our way to Colorado from Kansas City...and what do we see???
Wind Mills,
Oversize portraits of sunflowers,
And really big frogs in Goodland, Kansas!




When we drove the Monarch Pass, it was just breathtaking to experience the curvy, mountainous
and narrow paved roads that wrapped around tree filled scenic views of peaceful, undisturbed nature.
Here we are riding the gondola at the Continental Divide up to view the Rocky Mountains.
It was windy that day and we could feel the the temperature drop as we ascended to the top.
