Glenwood Springs, CO and so much more

Arriving in Glenwood Springs, CO our home for the week was Ami's Acres RV Park. 

Since the campground is in a narrow valley it is more vertical than anywhere we have ever camped. 

Each site is its own little terrace into the side of the mountain. "Roomy" would not be a word I'll use to describe the site. 

All utilities were provided, but we never used the restrooms or Wi-Fi. The Verizon signal was 3-4 bars (great!).











We were in Greenwood Springs for two reasons: to visit my sisters friend, Tex and to upgrade our entry steps into the RV. Our old steps were getting "rickety." 

The new Glowstep Revolution steps are solid and the optional handrail is terrific. 

Tex and his grandson were a TREMENDOUS help in installing the steps. I could have never done it by myself. 






Of course we didn't just work, we also had a great time sightseeing Glenwood Springs, Glenwood Canyon, Gypsum, Eagle & Vail, CO.

I-70 stacked vertically through Glenwood Canyon

The drive from Glenwood Springs up to Gypsum and Vail is awe inspiring. 

Simple photos can never do it justice or show how magnificent Glenwood Canyon is. 

Almost vertical canyon walls on both sides ...

You'll have to drive through the canyon for yourself.

... with the Colorado River right at the bottom.

I-70 tunnel. All traffic in one tunnel because of construction in the other.

While enjoying some BLM land near Gypsum, we came across a unique structure. 

As it turns out, potato farming was big business in the area at the turn of the 20th century. 


A farmer built this "sod house" to sort and store potatoes after harvest.

The way out ...

See you next time as we leave Colorado and head for Utah.
