We drove about an hour east on I-70, and dropped down a half hour to Moab so Jack could enjoy one of his favorite pizza places. We did a quick ride-through of Arches - we have been here a few times before, but it is always fabulous.

Decided to order the pizza in advance, and found that their kitchen was closed until dinner during the winter. Bummer. Jack found another place and we had a nice lunch, then drove the scenic route north from Moab that follows the Colorado River back up to I-70. This route 128 is one of the most beautiful roads I have ever traveled, but unfortunately, few opportunities to pull off and get photos.

We stopped for the night in Colorado just before the Rockies.
Spent the morning driving through the Colorado Rockies on I-70 - a fantastic scenic drive, especially in winter with snow on the mountains. As we came out of the last tunnel before Denver, we were treated to snow showers all the way up to Longmont, just north of Boulder. We are spending the evening with my sister, then on the road east again tomorrow.
