Since the last post we have been to Little Wild Horse Canyon in Utah and hiked.  It was remote and of course very beautiful.  Utah is such a colorful, interesting state.   You'll be happy to know we did not sign up to be Mormons!
We have been to Glenwood Springs, one of our favorite small towns in CO.  We toured the famous, very old Hotel Colorado.  Some of their famous and infamous guests have been: Teddy Roosevelt, the Unsinkable Molly Brown, the Mayo brothers (Mayo Clinic), William Taff, Patrick Swayze, Al Capone and Diamond Jack Alterie (a gangster.)  We went to Lookout Mountain and hiked up about .5 to a mile to the Lindwood Cemetery where Doc Holiday is buried.  We were miserable because it was so hot.  When we came down we went to a Pioneer Museum.

When leaving Glenwood, CO we drove towards Castle Rock to have lunch with Larry and Judy Weiner.  On our way past Vail we saw the beautiful Aspen trees that had turned golden.  The mountain sides were bright with color.
We took a tour of Larry and Judy's home and saw the lovely things they have collected from all over the world.  He and Judy took us out to lunch.

We are near St. Louis now and will be in Memphis on Tues.
