South to Denver

5th - 6th October, 2010

After leaving Yellowstone we headed through Buffalo Bill country in the Wild West of Wyoming. Some spectacular volcanic rock formations (from the Yellowstone volcano) and an amazing gorge that followed the river. As we headed further south, the land flattened out into the open grassy plains of Wyoming and the roads were much quieter.
Leaving Wyoming, we stopped in for a very short visit to the Rocky Mountains National Park in Colorado before making our way into Denver for our flight the next morning to New York. Even under cloud, we could appreciate the size of the mountains here. We visited Bear Lake, which was awesome. A beautiful still day and the reflections were lovely as we walked the short trail around the lake.
