Title: Colorado Trip
Post by: Matt on May 27, 2009, 11:19:41 AM
Well I am heading to CO friday morning. Just a long road trip with lots of stops. I will be gone all next week. Is there anything worth stopping or seeing on the way out.

We are taking 40 to Santa Fe, NM then up 25 to Denver. This will be my second trip out 40. Last time we drove to vegas. If there is anything worth stopping at or seeing in CO let me know.

PIKE'S PEAK!!! WHORE!

On a side note, looks like I might be going to see ol' Kenny Chesney Thursday... we'll see.  I ended up scoring some tickets and I'm giving them to my mom for her birthday and she seems like she wants me to go with her, so it depends on that.

Me too.  I love Colorado just from what I've seen, which isn't much.

If you get the chance ride I-70 from Denver to Vale. Gorgeous scenery with the interstate being basically a bridge for several miles!

Just got to our room in Tucumcari, NM. Should see CO tomorrow. We are going to take 285 up from santa fe, passed the Sand Dune National Park, towards Leadville & Aspen. The scenery is great here. You can see for miles. I wish I had the Jeep on several occasions.

Here are some pics of the gorge. This is where they filmed thelma & louis driving the car off in the canyon. Far from the grand canyon. The car is still in the gorge.
