Amarillo to Denver

We left Amarillo at 8am this morning, our remaining time in Texas was travelling through no-mans land of rolling pastures. We didn't pass through a single town for a good 45 minutes. Then we hit the New Mexico boarder and continued on until Colorado. Our first sight of the mountain range was great and it was around that time when the snow started falling. We drove through snow most of the way to Colorado Springs. It was off and on again, but it made it feel like winter.

It's been cold on our journey ever since we passed through the storms from yesterday. We hit the coldest temps in Colorado Springs. We arrived in CO Springs around 2 in the afternoon. We went downtown for lunch and then head over to Garden of the Gods. It was too cold and wet to go walking, so we just drove through. Where we exited the park, we saw signs for Manitou Springs. We drove to the downtown area, parked, and walked for a while, going in and out of shops to warm up. If it hadn't been so cold, we might have spent more time there.

Originally we had planned to spend the rest of the day in Colorado Springs and stay overnight there, but the weather was just too terrible. So we headed to Denver where we currently are, just north of downtown. We had ramen for dinner and then dessert at a place called Meet Fresh.

Our layover plan for the remainder of our trip has changed, since we went just a bit further than we were originally planning to. We might go all the way to Salt Lake City tomorrow, so that we can spend extra time there on Friday before we head any further. This way, we'll spend tomorrow driving through the rest of the cold weather.

Here's some photos from todays trip.
