Day 14: Utah

Left Colorado today. Didn't get outside much in the Boulder area... the days were either 95 to 100 degrees and/or threatening thunderstorms. I really think it worked out though to "rest" (quotes because all four humans in the house fell behind in sleep while there) and not run around and/or drive all over town.

It's travel every day from here on out. Not really a good plan... but here we are.

So there's not very much in western Colorado and/or eastern Utah (except fires). It smells like smoke here, and the sun was red in the evening. The fire that was closest to here was put out though, so we aren't going to be evacuated anytime soon.

The drive west from Denver was pretty cool. We left a very hot (but dry) day down near Boulder, then when we next got out of the car a few thousand feet higher up, it was raining and the two of us were surprised by how chilly it felt. Normally interstates are not scenic drives, but 70 West goes right through Glenwood Canyon, which is awesome.

Bryce Canyon tomorrow.
