"COLORFUL COLORADO TOUR" WE LEFT THE PARKING LOT ON SUNDAY MORNING TO HEAD TO THE HILLS. WE DROVE UP TO "REDROCKS" AMPHITHEATER WHICH IS WORLD FAMOUS AND HAS BEEN HOST TO MANY OF THE MOST FAMOUS MUSICIANS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD SINCE THE EARLY 1900'S. WE TOURED THE MUSEUM AND TOOK QUITE A FEW PICTURES AGAINST A "RED ROCKS" BACKDROP. WE THEN HEADED TO CENTRAL CITY AND BLACKHAWK IN THE MOUNTAINS AT ABOUT 8,000' ELEVATION. THESE TWO OLD "USED TO BE GOLD MINING TOWNS" ARE QUITE FAMOUS FOR THEIR GAMBLING NOW AND ATTRACT PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD. WE HAD A VERY GOOD LUNCH AT ONE OF THE CASINOS. WE HEADED UP THE "PEAK TO PEAK" HIGHWAY TOWARDS NEDERLAND, PEACEFUL VALLEY, ROLLINSVILLE, AND STOPPED IN ALLENSPARK TO SEE "THE CHIEF" (MADE OUT OF THE MOUNTAIN RANGE SO LOOK FOR IT IN THE PICTURES TO FOLLOW) AND FOR SOME EXCELLENT WATER FROM CRYSTAL SPRINGS. WE HEADED THEN TO ESTES PARK, A WORLD FAMOUS TOURIST TOWN, AND STOPPED IN AT THE STANLEY HOTEL. THE STANLEY HOTEL IS FAMOUS FOR THE STANLEY STEAMER AUTOMOBILE WHICH WE SAW IN THE FOYER. WE WERE GIVEN A FREE TOUR OF THE HOTEL. IF YOU EVER SAW THE STEVEN KING MOVIE "THE SHINING", IT WAS FILMED HERE. WE SAID OUR GOOD BYES AND HEADED BACK TO THE HOTEL IN THE LATE AFTERNOON. EVERYONE SEEMED TO HAVE A BIG SMILE SO WE DEEMED THIS TRIP SUCCESSFUL! |
