After leaving Fort Collins we headed south toward Farmington, New Mexico, stopping just outside of Colorado Springs to visit Garden of the Gods. What a gorgeous area to enjoy a bit of easy hiking.
Colorado’s Rocky Mountains are vast and unbelievably beautiful and we drove along absorbing the grandeur all around us.
Moving on toward New Mexico the weather turned dark and rainy. It made for a gloomy afternoon but also for some spectacular sunset views. Again, through a tinted window in a car that is in a hurry, the pictures are a bit fuzzy but at least you get an idea of the magnificence we beheld.
I wish you could have seen them in person.

Wow! Very impressive. We saw some awesome sunsets in New Mexico a few years back. And once traveling with my mom, we saw double rainbows that looked like they went from one side of the road to the other! Glad you are enjoying our Nation’s beauty.

We could see the brightest rainbow all the way to the ground, but just couldn’t get the best pictures from the back seat of the car.
Nature is amazing.
