Last Minute Update for 7/18 CO Drive
Last minute update.
We will meet at the Park and Ride as previously discussed between 9 and 9:15 and head to Loveland the back way(93 over to 287) where we will meet Dave. We'll then head west on hwy 34 through the Big Thompson Canyon and into Estes Park and grab some brunch. From there you will have 2 ways to get back to Denver- a long and a short. You can decide at brunch. Trail Ridge Road(TRR), the highest road in the country, is one option. VERY beautiful through Rocky Mountain National Park, into Grand Lake down through Winter Park to I 70 then east back to Denver. The other option, shorter, will be 36 out of Estes back toward Boulder and then south to where you belong! I am going to decide my return at brunch. The real influencer will be the amount of time you have. TRR is AWESOME but probably 2 hours longer return?? Just a guess.
Anyway, I hope to see many of you there in the AM.. Call if you are drive in the AM. My mobile is 720 641 1001.

PS, For you T or convertible owners, bring a fleece jacket or something to stay warm if you don't bring your top or if you decide to get out at the top of the TRR route- 8+ feet of snow should still be there!!
