Rocky Mountain High – Glenwood Springs, Colorado

We left Stagecoach State Park yesterday and drove about 2.5 hours south to a little town called Glenwood Springs near the southern end of the Rocky Mountains.

Here are a few shots that John took before we left the State Park.  It was one of the most beautiful and peaceful spots we’ve been to.

We’re here in the Rocky Mountain area of Glenwood Springs until Wednesday and then we move on to Grand Junction CO for a week.  Today we hiked up to Doc Holiday’s grave site at the top of a hill in town.  Doc Holiday was a dentist, gambler, gunfighter and friend of Wyatt Earp.  He’s most famous for being involved in the gunfight at the OK Corral.  He came to Glenwood Springs CO because he suffered from tuberculosis and wanted the warmer dryer climate, but he ended up passing away here in 1887 and apparently the exact location of his grave is uncertain.

Here’s John’s shots from today.  The first two are the view from our hike up the hill to the cemetery.

We saw this interesting tree on our hike up.

Here are the photos from the cemetery.
