Colorado

A full day of driving was ahead of us … heading from Rocky Mountain NP in the North of Colorado to Ouray in the South – a total distance of 600 km.

Rocky Mountain NP

A further business trip in 2008 got me back to Boulder; also this time our hosts took well care of us – and we had an enjoyable weekend in Rocky Mountain NP. Below some impressions.

Into the Colorado Rockies

From Denver we drove into the Rocky Mountains – higher and higher (also passing by infamous South Park). We set up our camp in a statepark near Ridgeway.
The next day was filled with several activities; in the morning we did a short hike (about 2.5 hours) in the vicinity of Ouray, followed by mountain biking tour (or better rolling down a mountain) in the afternoon. In the early evening we finally visited a clothing optional hot spring – a nice chance to relax from this strenous day.
