Aug 12, 2012 - Peak to Peak Highway

It was time for another day into the mountains. We're sort of use to mountain driving by now and so it is not quite so nerve-wracking.

Day 2 return trip, Sunday April 6/Jour 2 du retour, samedi le 06 avril We drove on I-70 eastward through the mountains of central Utah. At one point we reached an altitude of over 8,000 ft.

Nov 8, 2007 - Trip to the Mountains

While the coach was being serviced we had a day out in the Rocky Mountains. It was a beautiful day but cold at the higher elevations. We found Echo Lake where we had a lovely walk and Jenny was able to play in the snow. We then carried along the road stopping to admire the wonderful views.
