Day 22 - Colorado to Utah


When we left Denver, we stopped in Dillon to log in our Colorado ride. 

We rode 30k around Lake Dillon.  We could certainly feel the altitude (9000 feet) on the climbs.
I can honestly say that all of our rides were memorable in some way or another. But out of all of them, this was one of my favorites. The lake, the forest, the mountains with snow in the distance... this one was the most breathtaking. An appropriate finale, I think, for our endeavor to spin in every state.

As we continued our drive through the mountains to the west, the rock formations of Utah were probably the most picturesque yet desolate landscape we’ve seen on the entire trip.


The diversity of the topography we've experienced as we traversed the country has been one of the most striking aspects of this entire trip. Some lush, some barren, some majestic, some serene – all magnificent and exceptional in its own way. I guess there’s something out there for everyone.
