Trail Ridge Road ends at Grand Lake on the western side of the Rockies. It is the largest natural lake in Colorado.
The town is full of tourists. It's nice but not as nice as Estes Park.
The lake is beautiful. It is part of the Colorado River which flows down here from that meadow.
Oh dear, the luggage is getting heavier.
After Grand Lake I decided to do another cross country short cut to avoid Vail and the Eisenhower tunnel. I followed the Colorado all the way down to the Interstate 70.
The Colorado countryside is beautiful, rolling hills and huge ranches.
Down at the I 70 the railway and the interstate and the river share the narrow gorges. Here the road is 'double - decker', like that awful bridge leaving San Francisco.
Finally arrived at Grand Junction and the hotel is right in the middle of Downtown.
There are statues on every corner just like in Pueblo. It's all part of a national initiative called AOTC. Art on the Corner!
He is huge!
There is a strong cycling theme here.
Not art but fun!
I found this lovely bagel cafe and sat there for ages using their wifi.
And eating bagels!
