This was our first view of the Rockies as we neared Denver. We arrived in Englewood, CO on Friday afternoon. This is Mountain time so we are now 2 hours behind home. We had to find our apartment - went to the wrong place first- and then went to get groceries and finally I laid down and put my feet up and we both rested, in fact slept 2 hours over in the morning. Felt good!
Going through KS was flat and straight. And very brown. The whole landscape was varying shades of brown, gold and rust. And no trees. When we saw a cluster of trees there was usually a house in the midst of them or sometimes there was a long row of fir trees planted as a wind break. I actually enjoyed the trip though, maybe because it was so different from what we are used to.
And just a little while later it looked like this, snow, lot too much 3-4" but the expanse of white with the sun shining on it was blinding!
BTW, I think Ohio had the prettiest fall colors.
