This was another one of those trips where we did so much, I’ll have to break it into many more easily digestible posts. This post, I will be talking about our departure and our visit to Canon City and will lead us up to the end of week number one when we depart for Crested […]
February 18, February 24 With a little time to kill before our 3:00 check-in at our AirBnB, we decided to make a short detour and drove Skyline Drive, a thrilling 3 mile drive up and over a hogback on the west side of Canon City.
February 21, 22, 23 The AirBnB where we stayed in Canon City was blocks from the Arkansas River. There is an 11 mile Riverwalk Trail alongside the river, some small sections of which we hiked during our stay in the city.
February 21 Another of the trails I saved in preparation for this trip was Redemption Trail. I read about this awesome slot canyon that I REALLY wanted to hike. I made it there, but alas, wasn’t able to hike it. Read on!
February 22 With a pair of little-to-no cost museums right across the street from each other, finding time between the end of my work day and the end of Brandy’s work day was a cinch!
February 23 In November 2021, we took a ride on the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad. We enjoyed it so much, we thought we’d try the Royal Gorge Route Railroad from Canon City.
