Today was a travel day. We moved out of Colorado Springs with the most phenomenal memories in our heads and hearts. We had to drive straight through the Rocky Mountains to get to the KOA in Silt, Colorado. Knowing we would face an extremely intense elevation climb peaking out over 11,000, roads that curved around the mountain side and included very steep inclines and downgrades this was the most anxiety ridden route planned for our entire trip.
