Canyons, rivers and rock formations

So we have also taken some drives into the mountains and been wowed over and over…these Rockies just go on and on and offer incredibly diverse scenery. We did get out for a wee hike our second day here but at 10,000 feet our bodies weren’t quite ready for it……the city is at 6000 feet so even that took some getting used to!
We did do some off road with the car though which was kind of fun…not exactly off road but dirt road…we did meet plenty of other vehicles doing proper off road stuff through rivers and up steep rocky things!! Not my cup of tea!

Some of our pics are of a climbing area right here in town called Garden of the Gods (the pics of all the weird shaped sandstone rocks).


We also went to this gorge with apparently the world’s highest suspension bridge…we just looked from the side of the canyon cause of course they want money from you to go across!






We also found the river…...the Arkansas…..miles and miles and miles of all sorts of levels of whitewater ……David was of course salivating…so we hit the Kayak store and he talked boats with a young dude who laughed at how outdated our boats are now! We even found this cool little mountain town with a whitewater park in town……

That should bring you up to date for just now I think! Visitors welcome!
