Salina, Utah to Denver, Colorado

It is easy to lose track of time when one is enjoying the adventure of a lifetime. But duty calls and we have to make tracks for home to take care of our responsibilities in the real world.

Today we drove more than 700 k's across the barren but beautiful rocky landscape of Utah and Colorado (Color-ado) from Salina, Utah to Denver, Colorado (the Mile High City). 

The traffic-free interstate I-70 winds its way, at altitudes of 8,000, to 9,000, between the towering rocky cliffs and snow-capped mountains, along the banks of the Colorado river, before dipping down to an altitude of 5,183 and the beautiful City of Denver, with a population of nearly 3 million.

Color-ado aptly describes the landscape and the lifestyle of this area, dotted with spectacular ski resorts and Alpine villages.
