Denver was a mile high in elevation, but I never really felt like we had climbed from Chicago, since it was so gradual. Now we are gaining another 4,000 ft in a very short time. This feels like aBaca selengkapnya

We crossed The Continental Divide and are now descending. It's much snowier on the western side of the Rockies. I have no idea if that's always the case but it seems to be true right now.
