Colorado Road Trip - September & October 2009

When we were planning the trip to our 50th high school reunion in Estes Park, CO, we decided to make a road trip of it and explore some of the places in Colorado we had always wanted to see. Our travels took us through Nevada, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona. Highlights included a trip into the Crystal Mill near Marble, CO, a ride on the Durango and Sliverton Narrow Gauge Railway and camping in Chaco Culture National Historic Park, NM.
