Boulder has been voted healthiest (fittest, thinnest, etc.) city many years in a row, so it seemed fitting to run into a marathon.
Reflections in Boulder...
The famous Flatirons.
Photographs cannot describe the intensity of driving through these mountains. In a word: overwhelming.
...what is this?
I photographed as many of these signs as possible; really, can't get enough.
Gotta love the old-fashioned gas pumps. The gas attendant asked us how much it cost to fill the tank, which seemed surprisingly trusting to me (I couldn't imagine this happening in the NY area).
Lots of rafting.
Now THIS looks like the West...
Natural springs.
Nature calls.
On top of the world!
These winding roads on Loveland Pass were so steep, with no guard rail-- okay, now I understand why they call it the WILD West.
11,900 ft!
...and not out of breath (yet).
Snowboarding in June.
Windy!
Cute flora.
Striking a pose...
I mean, would you look at this?? Just stunning.
Unfortunately we didn't see any elk or bears on this day, but we DID catch a glimpse of a buffalo. Raul is still kicking himself for not having stopped (we thought we'd see more, but they are endangered).
Ah, the American road...
We've entered the evergreen phase of the landscape...
Dinner in Steamboat Springs at Alyssa and Todd's place-- delish!
They're kind of making the same face...
Alyssa and Jezebel!
Taking a stroll through the downtown of Steamboat Springs.
Rodeo cows.
More vintage signs...
Flirting (with the bear as chaperone).
I love the high altitude yoga!
