On the road to Alamosa, CO

PS: added a couple pics from our route to Alamosa, CO, our new stopping point for the night. Did I mention that I love scenic byways?? I think they are my new hobby.

As we spent more time in Mesa Verde than expected and I wanted to do another cool scenic drive that would take us through more cool mountain curvy roads, we decided to crash (figuratively) for the night here rather than do the drive in the evening.

I'm skipping a night on the blog, as it's late and I'm exhausted after a very long but super cool day.

I think this is my favorite pic of the day...we were on the road before dawn to catch the sunrise at Mesa Verde National Park. I snapped it quickly as we were working our way up the mountain to a higher view point and didn't look at it until now. I love the dual sunrise as it reflects off of Carter!

I'll log our many adventures tomorrow! It will (maybe) be a shorter road day...unless we see something awesome to explore, then who knows?!Read more
