短短4天的旅行,不论是里程(近2500英里,休斯顿到丹佛的单程为1100英里) ,
还是海拔(在 Mount. Evans 的顶峰,是14,264英尺,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Evans) ,
都是前所未有。虽然一直都是坐在车里,并没有象前两次的旅行长时间地爬山,但精力和体力仍然极度透支,回到家后,足足休整了一周才觉得可以应付日常生活。

Mount. Evans
WIKI对 Mount Evans Scenic Byway 的介绍
Sunrise at Echo LakeConstruction began in 1917 and concluded on October 4, 1927. The Mount Evans Scenic Byway is now the highest paved road in North America.
Near the summit stands the University of Denver's Meyer-Womble Observatory. At 14,148 feet (4,312 m) it is the second highest telescope in the world. The ruins of the Crest House (1941-1942) sit nearby. Containing both a restaurant and a gift shop, it burned down on September 1, 1979 and was not rebuilt, but remains as a place of contemplation today. The rock foundation and walls remain as a windbreak for mountain travelers.


第一次看到这样的公园售票机,$10/车,真是便宜

这是生平开过的第一险路,好几次让人有开进云霄的冲动
