If you ever get the chance to take the Amtrak trip between Denver and Glenwood Springs, CO, I would highly recommend it. The scenery was beautiful. Glenwood Springs is nice (and cheaper alternative to Aspen) place to visit. The hot spring pools are nice and warm (even in winter!) and reasonably priced. My wife and I visited this past week and cannot wait to go back again. Photos:

the original Doc Holliday passed away there...need to visit my namesake sometime....the springs will be a bonus....lol

 

I thought about going to the grave site to take a photo, but didn't have a car and it was fairly far from the hotel.
