Colorado

Breckenridge to Twin Lakes 

 Usually if you want to see scenery, you avoid the interstate.  This is a picture of Interstate 70 just west of Breckenridge.  At this point, I should tell you about the Mitsubichi Montero (remember earlier I said I'd tell you about it?)  
Well, anyway I noticed that it really didn't have too much pep but at the same time I wasn't racing up Pike's Peak.  Here, after we left I-70 and went south on Colorado 91, a good road, we were heading uphill and I was willing to go, say 50 miles per hour, but the best we could coax out of the Montero was a whopping 37 miles per hour.
We arrived at Twin Lakes, Colorado, on the eastern side of the continental divide, and the drive between here and Aspen, on the west side of the divide, has got to be the most beautiful drive you will ever take.
