We had a lazy Saturday, staying around the park. Both mornings were chilly, low 40's, which Ranger really enjoyed. I was able to get laundry done---much needed, requiring four washers in the park's clean and spacious laundry. We lazed around in the afternoon, talking about plans for the remainder of the trip and making necessary reservations. In late afternoon, we checked out the "DOLA": Dogs off-leash area. It is HUGE and much-used. We did not actually take Ranger in but had a nice walk along one of the many walking paths in the park before clouds moved in, making it uncomfortably cooler. We scurried back to the RV for an evening spent warming up around a campfire.
At dinner on Friday night, Beckie gave us some suggestions for places to see around Denver. So on Sunday morning, we started with Red Rocks Amphitheatre.
You can tell that Ranger would have liked to stay around for this evening's show by Gregg Allman.
From there, we drove to the top of Lookout Mountain:
Looking west, you can see high mountains, some with snow at the top. Looking east, there's the city of Denver. And closer in, just below, the city of Golden. Yes, that's the Coors brewery in that third picture. What else is Golden famous for?
We traveled down into Golden, where we had lunch and browsed the main street.
And finally back to our campsite, to enjoy the last few hours before we head out again, driving east.
You are certainly gathering memories for a lifetime! I wonder why they call it "Lookout Mountain"?!
