Colorado's awe inspiring Continental Divide draws visitors by the millions each year; pilgrims and active folk of all types have always been drawn to the special energy and beauty of the Rockies.

Foot and bike paths abound, and steep, rocky passages challenge the more stout of heart. On pleasant days, happy day-trippers who are walking or biking take the time to share quick greetings and smiles.

As one meanders switch-back trials, the view changes, revealing new aspects of the terrain and sky. Oh, the sweet anticipation of experiencing the next twist in the path! It's difficult to be unhappy in moments such as these.
