There's a lot to see in this section of Colorado. If you go north to Salida, you can go west to the Black Canyon of the Gunnison or east to Royal Gorge. If you keep going north from Salida, you'll see a number of 14,000+ peaks. Gorgeous country.
Crossed the Rockies a couple of times, around Estes Park. Long time ago. Love to see more of CO, Bryce and especially looking forward to the four corners area Mesa Verde, Sangre de Cristos, etc. Love the lure and lore about the Anasazi.
