To nature!!
Immediately, I rented a compact car like this.
Today, my plan is Rocky Mountains National Park!
It must be exciting!!
On the way to go there, I saw like this.
Now I arrived at Boulder.
I heard Boulder is a beautiful city from the hostel staff in Dallas.
This city is near mountain, so I can see mountains bigger.
Here I took a rest; walking in the city, drinking coffee eating lunch (only 1 croissant... poor lunch).
I took picture of downtown with back of mountains.
Wandering around for 1 hour, I restarted driving.
Gradually, the altitude went up.
The view around the road also change bit by bit.
There are only a few cars running this road.
I thought this the reason is that it's winter season and very cold now (-5 °F = -20℃).
It was nice because I can drive slowly and enjoy seeing around.
I will almost arrive at the park!!
I found some posts along the road.
These are unique, not like posts in the city.
The post officer must be hard to come such a far place.
Whew~~
??
But I didn't see any cars in the parking and anyone in the office.
Then I realized that today the park is closed due to snow.
My 2.5 hours driving has gone....
When I thought there is more beautiful view beyond this point, it was a little disappointing.
However I enjoyed driving on the way.
In return, I drove different road.
Around boulder area, livestock is popular industry.
Some horses are lay down on the ground.
Near Boulder there is also a mountain park, so I stopped by there.
Although Boulder Mountain is not so big, the scenery from the park was beautiful.
The land lasts until horizon.
I could see buildings of Denver.
You can't see with this pictures.
Totally I drove 5 hours today.
It was a wonderful drive for me.
