Maroon Bell ~ Colorado

Colorado

I first started visiting Colorado when I worked for Hewlett-Packard in Washington. I fell in love with it and was lucky to be able to move there on my return from Germany in 1990.

For whatever reason, when I started traveling with Jake in Excellent Adventure, Glacier National Park was the goal of our first trip. I had always heard how beautiful it was. The rest of the state is not too shabby either!
