OK, John Denver, we get it! Yes, we’re HIGH in the Rocky Mountains; by the altitude, the beauty, and the best beer we’ve ever tasted. It’s a different vibe here. There’s a lot of “beautiful people,” some hippie types, some tough looking mountaineers, and just people living “the good life.” (expensively.)
We were a bit weary after driving for many hours on Rt. 70 over the mountain passes in the ice and snow. Turning off in Glenwood Springs for some more windshield wiper fluid, the sun came out and we could see spectacular snow-covered cliffs and canyons. There, before our eyes was the most enormous steaming outdoor hot springs we had ever seen! Across from it was a beautiful Grand Dame of a hotel; The Hotel Colorado. We glanced at each other.
We’re staying here for the night, even though we have over 150 miles to go in iffy weather to our concert tomorrow.
We’re on a micro-mini vacation! I feel like a Countess here. The room is regal, the lobby grand, and I feel so well in this place that I think I was born in the wrong century.
We soaked in the biggest sulpher natural hot springs in the world, while looking up at snow-capped mountains.
We gave ourselves just a little carefree time and we so needed it.
Whatever happens tomorrow, today’s unplanned stop was worth it!
