We just got back from a bit of a tour of Colorado. Diamond had business in both Glenwood Springs and Durango, and since the boys are out of school we decided to come along. 
After our night in Glenwood Springs, we took the Million Dollar Highway through Oary and Silverton. The vistas were some of the most amazing I've seen in the entire world. Absolutely stunning!
Of course the camera doesn't do it any kind of justice, but there were countless places to pull over and snap some shots.
While we were driving along, we noticed this exceptionally large waterfall, maybe six feet across. So we pulled over to get a closer look. There was a little pool of water off to the side and the boys braved getting close enough to put their feet in. But the water was coming so fast and so strong that they quickly wanted to move up and away from the falls.
Along the way we stopped for a few hours in Silverton and wandered around the little mountain town, throwing rocks in a stream and hiking up part of a mountain. But the boys favorite part was riding in an old fashioned elevator. Super cool!The Caboose, Diamond and Big Boy #2 playing in the stream.

What a beautiful way to spend a day!

In the mountains vs. beach argument the beach still wins, but the mountains are a fairly decent 2nd place winner.
