Glenwood Springs: Day 4

Day 4 started off like the rest; continental breakfast and a morning dip.

Afterwards, the Fam and I took a nice walk around downtown Glenwood Springs.








It was the perfect day. Not too hot and not too cold.









Best of all, there were plenty of quirky landmarks that added to the local flavor.












Eventually, Vince insisted on showing Mom where he and his Grandpa had seen the train a couple days before.








Amy was really into it!













After lunch and a midday swim, Vince and I geared up and went for a scoot down the Roaring Fork rivertrail.








The day was still beautiful and the trail was long, paved and clean.












Take a look of some videos that I took along the way...


This one's a bit steadier....


Not bad for a guy taking pictures from a moving skateboard!












The scenery was great.









The river was fat from meltwater and roared right next to the trail. It made for quite a sight.








Vince really got a kick out of the weird little features and obstacles that made the trail unique. The underpass was a particular favorite.







Eventually, the trail crossed the Colorado River over this wooden bridge.








In fact, that very bridge spanned near the confluence of both the Roaring Fork and Colorado rivers. It's quite a sight watching them come together.







Anyhow, on the North shore of the Colorado was a city park.












It was the perfect place for a snack break!









After the break, we finally started making our way back into town.









As we skated in, Vince was treated to this great view of the hot springs pool.

You know what that meant....






Cool time, pool time!












I know it's sideways, but I really liked the footage and thought y'all would too!


And we can't forget Amy!
