After having a late breakfast in Joliet, Illinois, we continued our
journey on I-80 and traveled through Iowa (Cedar Rapids and Des
Moines), Nebraska (Omaha and Grand Island), and finally, ended our day
in Denver, Colorado. Iowa was beautiful as farmlands go; gentle rolling
hills, cornfields, bright fall colors and of course, red barns and
silos. Nebraska and eastern Colorado, on the other hand, were flat and
very dry-not an area I would visit again. We were happy to see Denver
which was beautiful. We didn't stop and explore the city because it was
getting late, and we needed to set up camp for the night. We drove into
the foothills of the Rockies just outside of Denver. Since the weather
was getting very cold (in the 30's), and there was a chance of rain, we
decided to stay in a cabin instead of our tent. We rented a very nice
rustic one (without running water, only heat) at Golden Gate Canyon
State Park just outside of the City. It was great.
