Tuesday August 28, 2018 Canon City, Colorado

At home I go out on the lanai by the pool to do my early morning reading with coffee and cigar before walking Tucker. The same today but what a change in setting with the sun coming up on the mountains. How blessed can one get!!

Headed the 9 miles into town this morning via the Skyline Drive. Built in 1905 by Colorado State prisoners the one lane, one way road across the very top of the Dakota Hogback formation provides some panoramic views of the valleys, neighboring mountains and Canon City from above.

Interesting are all the dinosaur prints embedded in the rock along sections of the drive.


In the afternoon we drove over to the Winery at Holy Cross Abbey. Cute little tasting room and bought some good Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay & Cab Reserve.
