RAM Adventure cross country
We set off early from Denver and only drove an hour to Colorado Springs where we enjoyed an afternoon hiking around the Garden of God’s. Thunderstorm missed us by a few miles so we could enjoy the view of the Pikes Peak, kissing camels, siamese twins and NORAD 🙂
After the hike we enjoyed the sun and our new house pet for the night.
The walking tour explained how Denver was the wild west in the 1890s with all the settlers wanting to come west. Denver had and still does lots of bars and restaurants but also a thriving business for lumber, opium, once the largest tram system and no city is without it, the red light district.
Dana Crawford who came to Denver in 1954 and made it her mission to keep LoDo District to its original vibe. At 91 years old she keeps fighting.
We felt like we were back in the 70s! Flower power, Patchouli, Love & Peace and tie-dye stuff all around. The California honey-drops were just fabulous and Trevor Hall’s show was gigantic. The red rock amphitheater is definitely a magical place! I’m glad we have seen it.
A long, sunny and intense day full of surprises!
A lovely old castle-like boutique hotel. A beautiful sunny morning greets us in Denver. What a great start!
