Highway 70 & Moab, CO to UT

Since this is a road trip post, you get a whole post that is just the view from the car heading from Kremling, CO into Moab, UT. No joke. Just a gallery of the road. There is nothing here.

We arrived pretty late and took the last room at the hotel. The place was actually pretty nice and had special cleaning supplies and storage spaces for bicycles.

Kremling, Colorado

We took a cross-country roadtrip from Michigan to the great “out west.” I had never been further west than Illinois or Louisianna, so I was pretty excited.

The first stop was to visit some old friends from high school that had moved out to Kremling. The first impression I had of colorado was a waterfall visible from the highway. I was absolutely thrilled.

We went hiking around a bit for some spectacular moutain views. This place was absolutely unreal. I have never seen columbines growing wild before.

And it turns out there is a place to feed the chipmunks without problem. No one camps or hikes there so it’s just a roadstop with chipmunks that eat from your hands. I guess they won’t destroy everything.

People stop here for the overlook and feeed these guys. The cuteness is overwhelming. But the view is pretty nice as well.
