Glenwood

Denver to Glenwood. A four-humper. Two uphills, two downhills, to get to Idaho Springs. A big hump over the continental divide. One more over Vail Pass. A long roll-out from there, through Glenwood Canyon, to Glenwood Springs. Back to No Name. We’ll be here a week.

Early September, the beginnings of fall color, a cool cloudy day in the high country, fresh snow on the higher ridges. Sunday morning. No traffic. An easy drive. An afternoon thundershower. The air is fresh. It’s good to be here.
