Snowballs in July

a

As we continue to travel through the Rockies, we cross again the continental divide at Mt. Elbert, the highest peak in the continental states at 14,300'. We are now convinced that the expression"it is so beautiful, it takes your breath away" is literal. At such elevations the air is so thin it becomes difficult to breath. Once over the divide, we decended into the town of Aspen, where we stopped for lunch at "Boogies", and continued on to Glenwood Springs, where we will spend the next 2 nights. Glenwood Springs is home to the world's largest hot mineral spring's pool. Teagan and Cristian spent a few hours in the pool before we head out to dinner. We spent most of the day in the car and in the pool, and just had a lazy day. Check up with us later when we write about tomorrow at the Adventure Park, right up the mountain from our hotel.
