Ft. Collins to Winter Park via Roosevelt and Arapahoe National Parks

A very pretty, twisting ride today. Took 14 west out of Ft. Collins to 125 South through Granby and stopped in Winter Park for the night. Didn't take a lot of pictures, but not because of bad scenery, just a great day to ride along twisty roads. I love roads where they have a gate and flashing lights and a sign which says "if the lights are flashing turn around and go home". Learned that there are no Grizzly Bears in Colorado so decided to stop along the way and took a nap next to a stream.  A few picts to illustrate the ride:




Checking into the hotel I asked the lady where she was from. She said Holland. She and her husband came out to Winter Park for a vacation and never left. She said "we get along fine, he is a downhill skier and I like cross country skiing. I do the front desk work and he does the maintenance, we never see each other :)".

Winter Park is a big ski area. However, I cant imagine driving up from Denver, during a snow storm, on a Friday night, via the twisty roads.
