We had a great time in Colorado this past week. There were 5 of us: Me, John, Kyle, Sam and Joe. We all met up at the Denver airport on Wednesday and since we had some time, we went to Boulder, CO to visit Sam's daughter, a CU student. We had sushi, admired the beer brewing, and saw her home she shared with 15 other people.
From there we went to Breckenridge, a small town with big tourism. As the guidebook put it, Breck keeps chugging forward, with visitors increasing each year.
We stayed at Beaver Run Resort which I lucked into by internet help. We got a good rate and a good hotel setup, one room and one 2 BR condo, right across the hall from each other. Perfect for 5 people.
Thursday Sam, Joe and I went mountain biking while John and Kyle went mountain jeeping.
Friday, we all climbed Quandary Peak which was much harder than expected. But we all did climb a 14er, 14,000 feet tall. 9 hours total climbing and descending for me. Super exhausting.
Saturday, we recovered. Kyle and I went to the Breckenridge Beer Festival which was right across from our hotel. Kegs of beer, great weather, walking around talking to all, it was like a college party all over again. So much fun - I'd like to go again.
Sunday, we had to come home. It was good to be back in Texas as the dry air and high altitude took a toll on me.
