We checked out of our condo and left Aspen today. First we went to church at Snowmass Chapel, visiting the JD memorial (right) before attending the service. We attended their traditional service (as opposed to their contemporary service) but it sure seemed rather contemporary to me.
After church we headed over
Independence Pass on our way to Colorado Springs. The scenery as we headed to the pass was beautiful. Of course, we had to take the classic photo by the sign. There was very little snow for it bring late in the year, although we heard there was a small snowfall last Wednesday.
As we approached Colorado Springs, we headed to the
Garden of the Gods which was beautiful with the clear blue sky as a background. We saw Balanced Rock (left) as we entered the park. As we drove on, we caught this view of the central formations.
We settled into a Fairfield Inn for the night and are looking forward to visiting the Air Force Academy to observe their noon meal formation before heading onto our Denver airport hotel.
