Denver Vacation

Yes even retired I need a vacation at times.  The following are pictures from a week trip to the Denver area.  I found a round trip ticket on Frontier for $108.00 from Atlanta to Denver.

View from top of Mt Evens

The road to the top is 14 miles and paved but no guard rails with lots of switchbacks and drop offs that are breath taking to say the least.  Youtube has videos showing the drive up the mountain. 

And there was a little wildlife to be seen.  Mountain Goats
