Day 5: Salida to Pueblo to Denver

Miles traveled – 225

Total miles together – 1,026

Our hotel in Salida had a patio that had great views.

We saw so many deer on this trip and watched this guy for a moment on our way to breakfast in downtown Salida.

Such a yummy breakfast.
With people watching views.

The Arkansas River runs through downtown, so we followed it for a bit to an art festival before we hit the road.

We try to take smaller roads when possible and got off highway 50 on the way to Pueblo and it was a treat.

Stop yelling at me! All I do is watch the rocks. Jeeezz…
Such tasty messy rock.
Some rocks just look scrumptious and I want to eat them.
Another tractor 🚜🚜
We hit some traffic on our way to Denver so mom could practice for her commute home.
Practice for my commute home.
We dropped off the giant truck and caught planes landing while we watched the sunset waiting for our Lyft.

Our hotel only had paper cups and wine just doesn’t work in paper. We reached into our Girl Scout skills and improvised with a water bottle. We call it “Fromwatar Crystal”.

This trip was too short but we’ll be back together in Massachusetts in October. Denver airport is too entertaining so we’ll have one more post tomorrow. – ShooKy
