The main road from Black Canyon to Denver is US-50. It goes over
Monarch Pass, and in early May, it was snowing at the top. Further along the road I stopped in
Fairplay, home of
Two-Mile High Stadium, and apparently inspiration for
South Park (not that I'm a big fan of that show).
This was my first visit to
Denver, a place whose airport I've seen quite a few times. I didn't spend a grand amount of time there, since I arrived late in the day. The next day was spent at the
Denver Art Museum, absorbing the new modern wing and an interesting special exhibit on artistic influences on the Impressionists.
After Denver, I headed east across the plains. The race east was only interrupted by a brief 30-mile detour to the
highest point in Kansas. (It's a bump in the prairie called
Mount Sunflower...)
Dinner and rest were in
Topeka, Kansas, since that's where I got tired.
