On the side of a mountain

摘要

Colorado. Hearing the name of this great state brings to mind images of snow-capped peaks, clear mountain water used to brew Coors beer and the soft melody of John Denver's timeless song, "Rocky Mountain High." One of the primary benefits of living in Colorado is the availability of so many natural and recreational resources in the mountains, though accessing these resources has at times been quite frustrating. Popularity of our mountain hot spots, coupled with I-70 being the only straight shot that accesses them, can turn an hour-and-a-half pleasure cruise into a four-plus-hour nightmare.
