Default Re: Purple ZR-1 Road Trip to Yellowstone and the Pacific Northwest

On Sunday, we bid farewell to Park City, UT and drove southeast on US-40, heading for Steam Boat Springs, Colorado and then on to Golden, Colorado (near Denver).

South of Park City, in the early morning, we saw this interesting scene. I believe that the small stream that was making the mist was fed by a warm spring and the larger lake was cooler than the surrounding air:



The terrain of eastern Utah was rolling hills with not much vegetation. As we passed through Colorado, the landscape became more rugged and then mountainous:




We became a two Corvette caravan when we were joined by this yellow C-6:




We arrived in Steamboat Springs, CO around mid-day. We browsed an Art Show along the river:




Then we had lunch in a nice local pub:



Steamboat Springs used to be primarily known for hot springs and mineral springs. Now it is a ski town. There are many lodges and the slopes are impressive:



We continued south and got on I-70 to cross the Rocky Mountains. The traffic on I-70 was very slow in the east-bound direction and our arrival in Golden was delayed about an hour.
