I'm working on tentative plans for the Colorado Trip that with the passing months has grown from a 3 day trip to 6 days to the current 11 days. I can't imagine that it will get any longer than 11 days.
It has morphed from 3 days in Denver to avoiding the city scene all together and spending those days in the mountains.
The new tentative schedule:
Day 1 - Drive to Colorado and setting up camp at Rocky Mountain National Park
Day 2 - Enjoy some sites in and around RMNP, find somewhere to camp, as we could only reserve our campsite for one night.
Day 3 - Make our way from RMNP to Evergreen Colorado and check into our cabin!
Day 4 - Possible day trip to Garden of the Gods, return in the evening to Evergreen
Day 5 - Check out the sites around Evergreen, Concert at Red Rocks!!
Day 6 - Denver for the day then drop off cousin at the airport - possibly stay the night in Denver
Day 7 - Head toward Grand Junction via I-70
Day 8 - Grand Junction toward Durango
Day 9 - Telluride!!
Day 10 - Ouray up to Black Canyon of the Gunnison
Day 11 - Head toward home - with a few stops along the way!
Nothing is set in stone - We are intentionally not making any hotel reservations, train reservations or anything that ties us to a specific place at a specific time. We may end up doing something completely different. We will be car camping and just enjoying the sites. As I mentioned earlier I won't be able to do any significant hikes due to my knee injury but I'm sure we will have lots of future hiking and camping spots scouted out!!!
