August 11-15 Gypsum CO

We left Golden and drove through some incredible scenery on our way to Riverdance Resort in Gypsum CO.



The “resort” was not really a resort, but it was a beautiful place to stay for a few days.




The surrounding countryside was lovely,



including at the golf club where we had drinks.


Ray started each morning playing with the campground owner’s boxer.


Each day we took a different drive. The first was to Glenwood Springs which meant a drive through Glenwood Canyon. That was an impressive road.


Once at Glenwood Springs we might have visited Doc Holliday’s grave (No one is sure where he is buried in the cemetery.  This is a "memorial" to him.)



On another excursion we went to Sweetwater resort. Enroute we saw a black bear but were unable to get a recognizable picture. We had better luck with the resort’s Hummingbirds.



Our last excursion was into the White River National Forest on a dirt road—pretty but not as striking as our other two drives.
