Cheyenne, Wyoming
If you’ve got the right tour guides you too can see Denver in four hours or less. And what’s more, you can pack that visit with grand experiences.
So what if the State Capitol is closed on Saturday? Hell, the Veteran’s Day Parade is starting just across the street. So what if you can’t go into Coors Field? The Team Store is open and they’ll happily give you free 2007 NLCS pins. So what if you can’t go into the Convention Center and see the front of the Big Blue Bear? You can stand outside and dream up a surrealist scheme to put a steaming pile of poo at the bear’s backside to greet conventioneers.
And on top of all that I got to see the Red Rocks Amphitheatre. For which there are no words. I eventually gave up even taking pictures with the realization that no photograph could ever capture the majesty of the place.
But taking pictures of the highlighted dinosaur footprints on the side of a cliff down the road was pretty cool.
And that was my Colorado adventure. I’m even told that if I time it right I can ski and see a ballgame in the same weekend in the spring! What a place.
