COLORADO - UTAH - WYOMING

Another day of spectacular scenery! Driving in a NW direction, we started out today from Rifle, CO. Spent the night there, enjoying the creature comforts of a first class motel, and a prime-rib dinner! Not to mention, a delicious dark beer at a local brew pub!


Just one of many show stoppers as we drove through
the area.

From Rifle, we drove up to Dinosaur National Park, and spent the afternoon touring around the area. Absolutely incredible geologic formations: truncated anticlines and synclines, peppered with dinosaur fossils.

We ended our day at a KOA in Lyman, Wyoming. Grilled a couple of steaks, had a tossed salad and a few glasses of wine. Oh Yeah!


Split Mountain in Monument
Park.

Tomorrow we plan to head north to Jackson Hole and the Tetons.  I can't recall how many times we've said we're glad we're not pulling a trailer as we have 5 hairpin turns in a row!  Sophie is enjoying being with the Madison's and we are having a great unencumbered trip. 

Lyman, WY. Steaks on the grill!

    Wish Johnny and I were with you both. We sure do miss you. But, you look like you are having a grand time and both of you definitely deserve it. Please be careful and get back home soon and safely. Love to you both.

    Barbara and Johnny
