Canyon Tour: Glenwood Springs

In 2015 we will continue our blog with another desert and canyon trip. This time we are four folks, Adrian, Ole, Shelly and Frank. We will cruise through Colorado, Utah and Arizona in two weeks.
Adrian, Ole and Shelly jumped on different planes on the 16th of July, the first holiday day in Hamburg. While Adrian was enjoying a business class trip to Denver, Ole and Shelly were trying out Iceland Air, which was quite nice.

Frank had to work a little bit longer and had a rougher time going to Denver, as his BA flight from London to Denver got canceled and he spend a night in an airport hotel at London Heathrow. Nevertheless he arrived and we started out trip early in the morning in Evergreen. We were fully packed, but were excited to start the tour.

First stop was Georgetown, which was a little mining town at the I70.It has the old style of Werstern America and we stopped at a nice backery for breakfast:

Later we visited the Hotel Paris (!), which a French miner founded there in the 18th century. Nowadays it is a museum, where you can still see some French ladys....


We drove through the mountains to Glenwood Spring, where we stayed at a Motel. It was quite hot and we jumped into the swimming pool of the natural hot springs. The pool was not the most amazing one, so we were going to have an early dinner. We found a very cute restaurant (Slope and Hatch), where we ate really good stuff!
