Eric and I just finished traveling across a good portion of Colorado and Utah, and even got to drive across the southern part of Wyoming! It was AMAZING. As gorgeous as Summit County is, I have to admit there are a few places just as beautiful (of course I don't hear anyone teasing those pastors about "suffering for Jesus," but whatever).
Because in Summit County we're so close to the mountains, we don't get to see ranges behind ranges behind ranges. We did in Utah. Beautiful. In Wyoming it was more of that--and LOTS of snow--but the wildlife was the really awesome part. We saw dear everywhere, at one point only about 5 feet from our car. In the north part of Colorado it was raw and rugged, with huge jagged rocks on the tops of the mountains that reminded me of the Badlands in South Dakota. When we got to Steamboat Springs the sun was going down. Because of a recent snow all the trees were white, and the stark contrast between the blue sky and white trees was breaktaking. In the south part we went over the most magnificent pass I've ever seen. Red Mountain Pass was amazing, with frozen blue waterfalls all around and canyons so deep that no one would ever be found if they fell into them.
And I kept thinking, God made all this. What a creative Creator we have!
