On Friday, we crossed the border into Colorado and began the journey from desert plains to mountains and forests. We left at 5am and landed in Durango for lunch. At last we have entered the craft beer Mecca! We ate at a great brew pub called Steamworks. After that recharge we rode through Rocky mountain canyons upward along the million dollar highway.
We stopped for the night in gorgeous Ouray where we were lucky enough to get the last campsite at the amphitheater campground. We had the most amazing view from our secluded spot, and we slept under a blanket of stars.
Saturday morning we made the ride to Boulder. This took us back through some desert scrub, through Vail and at last to the foot of the Flatirons to amazing Boulder.
Boulder is like a little slice of home. We only went to dinner and have much to explore, but we have already been wooed by the bohemian college town. We ate at another amazing brewpub called Mountain Sun then strolled a little down the Pearl Street pedestrian plaza that stretches several blocks. There were kids and families everywhere, sweet little parks, boulders and water play areas for younglings to frolic, street performers, girls playing violins, sweet looking shops!!!! LOVE IT!!!! We will explore today and post Boulder photos tonight!!!!
