2011 BTC day 5 - Rest Day

What to do on a rest day? So many options. Raft, hot springs, lounge... We decided it was a good day to shuttle our car from Granby to Central City.

We took a shuttle to the Eagle airport and picked up a car. Then we took a really nice drive to Granby. We ended up on a dirt road (Trough Road) that had awesome views. I would love to include that road in a motorcycle trip some time. 

We also saw something really cool on this road - a bear. I've never seen a bear in Colorado before. It was pretty awesome. He was near the road, and then ran up a hill as we got closer. I would have loved to stop and take a picture, but I didn't want to be "that guy" who gets mauled trying to get close to a bear. It was pretty cool though. 

The rest of the driving wasn't quite as interesting, but the scenery was great. There's still snow on the mountains, the valleys are green, and the skies were blue. Beautiful. 

Back in Glenwood Springs, we showered up and went to dinner at Fins. The food was okay, but the service was awful. I won't be going back. And for a Colorado place to serve trout that's farm raised in Canada?  What's up with that. 

Then we sat around camp and probably disturbed everyone with our chatter before hitting the sack.
