this marks the high point of the trip so far - literally. From here water on the left of the side eventually runs down to the atlantic, to the right it runs to the pacific. Either way its all down hill from here. And yes, that is snow in the background, but we're too far south for proper glaciers so I guess it must melt by the end of the summer. This will be our last naturally cool day for a while - back down to the 4000 ft desert tomorrow and forecast clear skies and 100f temperatures in Moab for the next week
We;ve been visiting the colorado ski towns - Breckenridge, Vail and Aspen, as I will probably never get to ski them. They are all nice in their own way - Breck and Aspen are late 1800s mining towns, Vail is a 1960s construct like Whistler, but it brings it home to you that they are all very similar - pedestrianised walkways, lots of wood and stone and dubious public art and all the same mountain bike/ski gear shops. Makes me appreciate the convenience of whistler a bit more as we're going to be staying in the village again next season so I can walk to the lifts
