Denver, Red Rocks and Breckenridge

Thursday, February 12, 2015

I get to spend the next few days in Breckenridge, Colorado. I’ve been in Denver for the past two and on the way I stopped off at Red Rocks Park in Jefferson County. Visions of a past trip to the area popped in my head as I drove under the archway tunnel to head to the top of the amphitheater that is nestled between the dark hued boulders from which the park gets its name. Years past I saw Willie Nelson play for three hours straight on this same stage. From here I headed out I-70 towards the snow covered peaks of the Rocky Mountains. It has been a beautiful day with wonderful sights and memories.
