After a 2 week visit in Grand Junction, I had to say goodbye. My next stop was Keystone Resort near Breckinridge, CO, where my friend Jason lives. Instead of taking the direct, i.e. boring route, along I-70, I decided to take a route that I never travelled before. My first stop was Aspen, where I stopped for a bite to eat. It was another hot day, even in the higher elevations and I had little time to spend exploring the town. Aspen is beautiful, as it should be considering the enormous amounts of money that pour into the place. But, I didn’t like Aspen, so I will not post the few pictures I have. I won’t go into detail as to my reasons why, but suffice it say, this town exuded a undeserved vanity. I’ll just leave it at that. The only beauty that struck me was on my approach to Independance Pass where the Aspen trees grew wild and untouched.
