Oh, Colorado. This state completely won my heart, and we only spent a few hours driving through here. Perhaps it was the fact that it was the first time we'd seen mountains and terrain in who know's how long or because it was an incredibly welcome change after seeing only yellow and corn coming through the mid-west, but regardless, I fell in love with this state.
The pictures that follow are a pretty good testament of how beautiful it was and what our eyes feasted on as we cruised through the Rockies with our pets and trailer in tow. From the rolling hills to the soaring peaks of all the mountains to the thousands of different hues in the rock, I can't say that I wouldn't mind calling this place home one day (should I be so lucky). And that's just the aesthetic piece of it. All through the Rockies, there were people biking, running, hiking, fishing, and living life outdoor. Everyone was so active and healthy, which is exactly what we strive for in our lifestyle. And surprisingly, there were a lot of amenities, even when secluded in a small, mountain town. It reminded me of Watertown, only a hundred times better. Small town feel with big city amenities.
I was disappointed to only spend a total of 24 hours there. We stopped there in Lakewood for the night, deciding to call it a short day. For that, I wasn't disappointed. I gladly enjoyed being able to take in the elevation after being deprived of it for so long.
