Aug 05 - Rifle Falls SP
Time to leave the Grand Mesa. Up 65 to interstate 70, then east to Rifle and north on 325 to the second state park - Rifle Falls.
These are triple falls. Great walk up and behind the falls.
April 06 - Rifle Falls, cont.
Spent the night at the campground, and went for a hike to see the falls again the next morning.
Drove south from Rifle to Glenwood Springs: great water park.
Then south to a park near Merideth for the night
August 07 - Backed up to Basalt then through Aspen to Independence Pass and Twin Lakes
.
Found a secluded spot south of Twin Lakes to spend the night. Quiet and Free.
August 08 - Leadville
Up the road from Twin Lakes to Leadville, one of our favorite stops.
On the way to Leadville, our road and how it used to be....
Leadville today, a pretty town with interesting buildings
Mining residues up the hill from town (where we spent the night at 11000 feet).
