In the nearly ten years I've lived in Colorado I've tried to make it to the southwest portion of
the state. But, that distance is actually quite a long trip. For people who live in smaller states ou

t east who possibly don't understand how long the drive is, it takes nearly seven hours to get down there from Denver - that's about the same as if you drove from Boston to Baltimore. Thankfully I was coming from the west on my road trip back to Denver.
