day three - the great divide

I had every intention of having some sort of symmetry with my post titles, but I quickly decided to throw that out the window. My blog, my rules, right?

This morning I found myself overlooking Gunnison, CO including the campus of Western State Colorado University, and my nostalgia hit a peak as high as the mountain I was on. I always find myself missing college immensely this time of year, and I almost cried thinking back on the four (mostly) wonderful years I spent as a Terp. INSTEAD of said tears, I took a deep breath and sent some warm wishes and happy vibes down to the students below. Go Mountaineers!

Post-morning hike, we began our voyage back to the glorious city of Denver. One of our pit stops along the way was Monarch Pass, also known as the Continental Divide.

I very much wanted to take the aerial tram up to see the sights, but I was disappointingly outvoted. However, the views were still pretty stellar from the ground. It is also pretty neat to be able to say I stood at The Great Divide. 

Keeping it short today because I have some serious facetime scheduled with my pillow. 

Only two more days left in the Centennial State and I intend to use them well.
