Full Time RV Travel: Mt Evans Colorado–We Gotta See It!

Curtis and Brenda’s last day before we took them to the airport

also happened to be our favorite sightseeing day. . .

You didn’t think we could be in the State of Colorado

for the entire summer. . .

and not make it to see Mount Evans did’ya?

It was a great day. . .

There are 54 fourteeners in the State of Colorado. . .

Mt Evans is the closest one to Denver. . .

and beautiful Echo Lake. . .

which is considered an alpine lake. . .so pretty.

We were at about 10,000 feet elevation here at the lake. . .

and did not do the final 4,000 feet to the summit. . .

but one of the ladies we talked to at the gift shop, 

said the wind was blowing about 45 mph up there. . .fun!

I would have love to have gone up there. . .

but, alas, the airport beckons. . .

so off we went to Denver. . .

Curtis said that on the Capitol Steps was a placard 

indicating one mile above sea level

Well. . .I gotta see that!

the State Capitol Building is under construction 

with this ugly wrapping around the top. . .

so I bought me a postcard. . .

and Dave took this shot with this kind of cool effect. . .

not sure how he did that. . .but I wanted you to see it. . .

There’s his brother at the right of the steps. . .

We thoroughly enjoyed our week with the fam. . .

Now it truly is time to head to the airport. . .

drop off Curtis and Brenda. . .and pick up our oldest grandaughter. . .

It’s her first solo flight. . .so stay tuned. . .
