One cold winter morning we woke up and looked out of the window... And everything around was white and puffy. It was a winter morning after all ;) And we thought it was a good time to explore some places. We decided to go to Red Rocks Amphitheater to see if the snow could discolor all the brightness of the Morrison Formation red rocks...
It was still snowing when we reached the cliffs and drove around.
Everything, especially the icicles, looked so unusual and nice...
And... also the brightness of the rocks was faded and everything looked just different...
And everything beyond Morrison Formation was so white and colorless... Denver was covered by a snow blanket and looked even better than usual.
We walked around and found our next destination - the town of
Morrison, also covered by snow and becoming invisible, dissolving in the
whiteness of hills...
Yeah, everything looked so white and fresh. We were just roaming and enjoying the views.
The road was icy or watery, I definitely would avoid driving there, but it looked just amazing!
We found a place we've never seen before - Hot Tub Cottages and Cliff House Lodge. We entered the gates and browsed around and even peeked into one
cottage :)
By this time we were already a few hours wondering and really hungry and decided to have a
bite. So we stopped and had some burgers in a place that was packed even
on this cold and snowy day. Yeah, it was packed but not as crowded as
in a Summer time, when the bikers occupied this joint.
Finally we stopped by the creek to see how the snow changed its
appearance and... returned back home until next time in Morrison ;)
