Drive from Denver to Salt Lake City: Colorado


After our day in Denver, we wished Rachel the best of luck on her interview and headed to Salt Lake City on Monday.  We were really nervous about this part of the trip. Apparently the path from Denver to Salt Lake City is dangerous if it’s snowing.  It was either take this possibly treacherous route via 70 through the mountains to Salt Lake City, or go through the equally troublesome Wyoming path via 80.

In case you missed our diatribe about our seething contempt for that worthless state, we decided it was better for our safety – and sanity – if we went through the mountains.  We couldn’t have made a better decision.  The weather was great and this is one of the most idyllic drives either of us has taken.




 Each bend around the turn looked like a post card.  









Before reaching Utah, we made a quick detour to Colorado National Monument.




 
 And people wonder why we like taking road trips.

  1. Karmen with a K,

    Will you please do a different pose with Ayk. I assume your right profile is prettier than your left but do something silly like you did in chi-town. Perhaps you could include an animal friend?!?!?!

    Thanks in advance,
