whew! we made it! i can't believe how gorgeous this trip has been and all the crazy weather we have experienced. utah was by far the most beautiful place, i wanted to throw down an easel at every turn and paint the view. the colors and the clouds were to die for. now i know why people love the west, this was definitely an eye opener to the beauty of it. i think the rain and time of year made a difference, not sure if i would want to cruise through here mid summer. we made a stop in utah for the night, red cliff lodge which was a very fancy place for us. we enjoyed a great dinner and the view from our room was stunning. we toured arches national park and then climbed over the rockies to land in johnstown, just north of denver where we will stay for a week. stay tuned for more of our adventure!
