After 2 & 1/2 days of driving…we opted to stay the night in western Denver – just one exit past “Wadsworth Boulevard”. Denver rests in elevation a mile high…a good start to our acclimation process.

The Quality Inn had a POOL that was greater than 3 feet deep…so moments after checkin…we raced to the water for some swim ‘phins. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOh so delightful…and the decor was all “west”.
