August 2017
We began our final full day in Colorado with a drive back up to Denver. We went directly to Red Rocks Amphitheatre and Park. We, once again, spent time climbing stairs at a high altitude. Even though we'd mostly acclimated to the altitude during our trip, we still were looking forward to being at sea level again after all the climbing we did to see every inch of the beautiful amphitheater. Then we drove downtown and did some exploring on foot. Out first stop was History Colorado, a state history museum. After spending some time there, we walked to the state capitol building but it was pouring rain so we didn't stay too long. Then it was off to Union Station. By then the rain had cleared up so after lunch we went back to see the capitol in the sunshine. After some more exploring and dinner, we tracked down Voodoo Donuts. We'd never had the opportunity to try them before so we waited in the always very long line and bought a few to take back to the hotel to celebrate the end of a very busy and fun trip. We ate them after we packed everything for our flight home the following morning.
