James took this picture of me waiting to get on the train.
This is a beautiful sight right outside of Grand Junction.
The vineyard is to the east of Grand Junction and I am sure the wine that comes from here is excellent!
Same vineyard....
This was the first snow we saw. Isn't this pretty?
That same place where we first saw snow, but this is the whole view!
This is the Glenwood Springs train station.
This is across the river from the train station in Glenwood Springs. They have hot springs here, and this is a very cute looking town!
If you look in the middle of this picture, you can see the Hermits House. It is built into a cliff east of Glenwood Springs. There is an elevator at the top of the cliff that you can take to get into the house. It is totally remote. No one would, or even could, bother you there!
This is the start of the canyon just east of Glenwood Springs.
The canyon walls didn't have snow on them, but the trees did.
I-70 near Glenwood springs. The west bound lane is elevated.
Pretty view of the river and the mountains.
The train and the tracks with snow. It was so much fun!
The Colorado River and snow
We sat in the lounge car the whole way. I worked on the blanket I am making the entire time.
Pretty huh?
Snow on the mountains and the Colorado River
