Ok ,we are in Colorado . You’ve got Denver, you’re thinking what else ? Aspen and Vail , yeah them too . Boulder , you’ve heard of that . We stopped at Boulder briefly , very cool . Boulder has the University of Boulder , it’s a very forward , progressive town . It’s also very green , arts , crafts , new age and left . Street performers , psychics , artists , hiking , rock climbing, hippie , green timber style green , alpaca knits , fossil shops ( true , even had a certified meteorite stripped down into jewellery pieces ) , organic , vegetarian .Its at the foothills of the Rockies . Pretty no , but it’s a gateway city between modern ( Denver) and the rugged beauty of Americas national parks .Next : Estes Park ,a half hour drive through barren hills that thread through a pass , opening into a rugged pine covered mountain range with mesmerising snow peaks .
It’s not on the glamorous , rich and famous list but over here it’s revered .Think Wilsons Prom in the snow , fully commercialised . Lorne, Hahndorf, Cockatoo , you know them . This is Estes Park ,at the foot of the Rockies , the Colorado River , pine forests, enormous rock formations ,snow,a getaway for everyone in Denver . We’re not unique , but we’ve ticked this box and I won’t take this for granted . Estes Park is beautiful.
