A little hike up to the hill of boulder witch was nice and after parties like a college kid lol

Sixth step

One of the most stressful drive that we did.





Moab UT-> Boulder CO

A little 6h30 min drive that finished to be 20 h.
After 2 hours we heard that the Vail pass was closed because of an accident so we were thinking to take a detour but there, a detour is 10hrs more of driving and the budget was tight so we thought that when we will arrive at Vail pass the road would be free but we didn't got this chance.It was snowing really hard and with the trailer it was starting to be a little sketchy.
They were so many cars and so many people, we went to the cheapest hotel of Vail which should be $150 per night but no more vacancies so we decided to park a close as possible of the road to restart as soon as possible the next morning.
BUT
Now a HUGE THANKS TO RACHAEL THE girl with THE connections. She has a friend that live in Vail that Helped us so much, was really nice and saved our lifes of the frost. We were ready to sleep in the car like we did all the way before with more blankets, towels and everything we could find to be warmer when Rachael called us to bring us back hope THANKS again. We got a futon that was really comfy so we had our first night in a bed so we went to buy the breakfast for our savers and finally left at 9am to Boulder.

Moab

Moab with all the parks that there is around you can stay for 2 weeks and never do the same trail or see the same thing. The place for the mountain bikers and lazy mountain bikers (Jeepers lol).So much to do so we did the most touristic one.
I copied the first picture from a web site of Utah. I really don't know if we did the wisest choice by doing this park lots of people talked about 2 other park as great or better. What ever there is so much to do. Another day.

The archers national park.











Not a bunch of pictures because josh still didn't send me his pictures. Our camera died and so we finished to take pictures with the phone of josh witch i hope will be good enough but i have only one advice: just go there and love it like we did.

fifth step

Santa Fe ->Taos->Mesa Verde->Moab






Taos... one of my favorite short stops...so magnificent, a huge plateau with a huge hole in the middle (the rio grande river starts here) and mountains all around. There is so much to see around here so many little things that have to be seen, but 1/2 day + 1/2 day etc equals not enough time. Sad





Mesa Verde, long drive, we had to unhook the trailer and drive 20 miles for what?Please. The park was closed that did not allow us to visit the caves if there isn't a ranger with you, such a pain.But at least it was an efficient tour of efficient tourists. We saw all the caves in not even an hour from far away, but we saw them all.




And THE weird stuff was the first cactus that we saw. There was still some snow.

Really cool park.I will have to go back when it's open and do a little tour to know exactly what was going on there and when.


After that,we did a couple more hours of driving and we arrived at Moab.
