Rim Rock Drive – Colorado National Monument – Fruita, CO
Before my hasty departure to the Philippines, Steve and I were well underway in our exploration and hiking at Colorado National Monument. I was happy that my “guest blogger” was willing to fill in while I was gone, adeptly sharing his solo excursions as he made his way into Arizona. Now that I’m unpacked and settled…

Amazing western Colorado – part 2
I arrived at Alpen Rose RV Park in Durango (review here), and was disappointed after previously staying at three Colorado state parks that were so nice. This place was pricey and the sites were close together. I guess I should have been happy that the coaches next to me provided some protection from the winds that…

Amazing western Colorado, part 1
I didn’t intend to post while Mona Liza was in the Philippines, really I didn’t. Blogging is mainly her thing, I’m just the peon editor in this operation. But after driving so many miles southward through mind-blowingly beautiful western Colorado, I’m inspired to at least take down some notes about the beauty here, if for…

Colorado’s natural gems
( Due to a family emergency we’ve had a change of plans and I won’t be posting for a while. I’m heading for the Philippines and will meet up with Steve in Arizona when I return in a few weeks.) ==== Our next stop at Glenwood Springs was at a lower elevation – 5,746 ft.…

Our first glimpse of Colorado gold – Breckenridge
Last spring when my good friend Ingrid learned we would be back in Colorado this fall, she quickly whipped up a list of “must see and do” mountain towns along our proposed route. As a welcome reminder, she recently posted her favorite mountain towns and added even more places that piqued our interest. Thankfully we listened to this Colorado gal,…

The first time we stayed in Colorado last spring we were enthralled with the beautiful scenery around us, and the many iconic outdoor places to explore and visit. On the current…

A day in the mile-high city – Denver, Colorado
All of our prior visits to Denver were confined to either the old or new international airports, waiting for connecting flights across the nation. Now we were just a few miles from the city and had to make a thorough visit. Our home base at Dakota Ridge RV Park (see Steve’s review here) was conveniently located only a short…

Exploring the iconic Red Rocks Park and Amphitheater – Morrison, CO
There were numerous hiking trails to choose from near our RV Park in Golden, Colorado, yet we kept going back to Red Rocks Park and Amphitheater – not once but three times! The first time was with John and Pam, then with Al and Ingrid and finally Steve and I took a last hike there before moving on.…

And the outings continued – Golden, CO
It seems like there’s something for everyone in and around Golden, Colorado. Although it can be a challenge to pick a tour that several people will enjoy, our group agreed on two. John and Pam, Sue and David and their son Jesse, Steve and I agreed to check out the huge Coors brewery tour in town,…
