Day 6

We took a slow ride to Denver. We went 20 miles and got turned around. Road closed till noon. We turn around and head back to Montrose. 
We eat breakfast in Montrose,  then head out. 

We pretty much just head straight Denver.  No stopping for photos.   
Adam shard the driving with me.

We did pull off when we saw the Red Rocks sign. We parked at a trailhead. We took a the hike and somehow ended up inside of Red Rocks. 

We tried to check into our base hotel. They were fullfor; tonight.  We checked next door hotel.  They had  vacancy,  We were going to get 2 rooms, but, we were blessed with 2 bedroom 2 bathroom suite!

Part II Day 7 & 8

 We take a slow ride from Abilene to Amarillo Texas. I call it abandoned house searching.  ww did make a stop at CapRock Canyon too.  How beautiful it is here.   As we are exiting the park we get to see some Buffalo!   The cactus are in bloom too! It takes us quite while to go from Abilene to Amarillo.  But, that is ok, we have a lot of fun taking photos.   The next day we go from Amarillo to Denver. We drive straight though with one very cool stop at It looks like the Badlands  It is pretty warm out, we all enjoy the formations and walking around here.  Next stop Denver... we're going to the same hotel we started in. They have a salt water pool.  We can't wait!   We have dinner first...  so excited about the pool.  We get back and change.  I get this from Dan....  ...

Day 2

 Day 2 We head out really early in the AM. Went to Safe Way, got cheap cooler, Ice and some items for a picnic lunch.  It is chilly out, we have our jackets on. Then we head to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. I've been there a couple of times before. Really needed to share it with the kids.  It never fails, they scare the crap out of me... We walk a ways on the trail, we meet a bunch of really nice people along the way. The Canyon is just beautiful, sun shining it's pretty spectacular  we work up an appetite  It ended up being another long day. Spent about 7 hours in the Canyon, then drove to Page. The Scenery on the Way to Page was incredible too.  Adam said.... "When you think it can't get any better it does" The weather has been great. Oh, we did notice that we all were a little winded ... the altitude was getting to us a bit.  We are all pretty exhausted . I believe we are going to stay an extra day/ night in Monument Valley. We shall see. ...

Day 5

Dan is feeling better. His knee hurts more than his head.   We ease into the day. Have breakfast at hotel. Then take a walk on the River walk in Durango.  It's really pretty here.  We pack up the car and head North on Route 550 AKA as the Million Dollar Highway.  I need to ride my motorcycle on this road for sure.  The Million Dollar Highway is a motorcycle road Bucket List for a lot of motorcyclists, including Me!  You'll understand why when you see the photos.   We did buy a bottle of Oxygen,  used it once.  As you can see we are getting out a lot to take photos!   It takes us almost 5 hours to complete the Million Dollar Highway... it's only 50 some miles long.... My motorcycle traveling buddy Lou said... "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree " when I told him how long it took us.  Can't wait to see Adam and Dan's pe...
