Parker, CO to Estes Park, CO
On day seven, Steve and Suzanne Weston and I rode to Estes Park,
Colorado (the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park) so we could attend the
wedding of the son of my long-time friends, John and Betsy Dietrich. For this ride, we decided to ride Colorado
Highway 119, otherwise known as the Peak to Peak Highway. This route offered some breathtaking views of
the Colorado Rockies.
Along the way, we stopped in Nederland for a quick bite of
lunch. While there, I had the
opportunity to briefly see a restored carousel that used to be located in an
arcade along the Great Salt Lake.
We arrived in Estes Park shortly after 2:00 p.m., and quickly
cleaned so we could attend Rob and Meagan’s wedding at 4 o’clock. The post-wedding party lasted well into the
evening. Tomorrow, I will make my way
down to Pueblo, Colorado to rendezvous with the five guys that I will be
sharing the ride with for the tour of Colorado, Utah, and Northern Arizona.
