Leaving Santa Fe was not easy as the clouds clung to the roads, occasionally clearing away to reveal a snow-decked landscape.
Eventually, as the altitude decreased, the sun began to exert a bigger influence on the proceedings, and the eastern plains took over, a golden expanse that must have been awe-inspiring and alluring to the early settlers.
But when in Colorado, the mountains cannot be too far away, and soon enough they began to appear, far away at first but nearer and nearer as Colorado Springs got closer.
Colorado Springs is a vibrant city nestled in the foothills of the Rockies, with Pike's Peak prominently overlooking the settlement.
The
MLC Lady Warriors (in black and orange) were playing a game in Colorado Springs and were lustily cheered onto an impressive 98-56 win over
Principia College Panthers.
Playing at the higher altitude is no laughing matter, and the hosts were kind enough to prominently remind the visitors of this.
No trip to Colorado Springs will be complete without a visit to the rock formations lovingly referred to as the
Garden of the Gods.
The fading sunlight was still enough to capture some of the majestic beauty of the unique rock formations. (Click here for
more details of the park).
