Day 5,
6/14 – Glenwood Springs CO, Denver Airport, Glenwood Springs CO, 374 miles
This was
the trip from Glenwood Springs to get Nancy at the Denver Airport and then
return to Glenwood Springs. When I checked the temp in the morning it was cool
but no big deal – right? Oh contraire, the temp bottomed out at 35F at Copper
Mountain. I was not dressed
appropriately and the brass monkey was pickin’ up his parts!
Route 70
to Denver is a beautifully engineered piece of high speed 4 lane highway with
sweeping curves, lofty views and several tunnels. The route cuts through
Glenwood Canyon and crosses Vail Pass at 10622 feet.

Nancy
made her flights and we made it back to Glenwood Springs for a nice dinner at
Glenwood Springs Brewing Co. with Dave G. and Ginny. BTW - they make an excellent double IPA.
