VIDEO: Another day, another mountain

This time, the mountain was in Albuquerque. Dan and I took the world's longest tram (they keep reminding you of that) to Sandia Peak, which is a whopping 10,000+ feet above sea level. The tram isn't for weak stomachs -- just like the food -- but it's worth the ride.

Whoops, I skipped past the mountains

I don't know how much I should say about the mountains west of Denver. They were just as beautiful as you'd expect. You can find pictures of them just about anywhere on the Internet.

I didn't take my camera out for the excursion. Why not? I don't know. I guess I just wanted to enjoy the scenery without having to frame it all creatively. But rest assured they were no disappointment.

On this leg of the trip, new friend/tour guide Jen took me around. She lives in Denver, likes mountains, and drove there with me in the car. Up and up and up. And then up some more on foot. It was a fun time, to say the least. Jen: Thank you. Thank you so much.

That's right. I'm treating my readers like small children. Behold.


I am out of breath, as you might hear.

VIDEO: Salt Lake City from the top o' the library

This is a breathtaking view. The video probably won't express it because of the haze in the sky and the relative graininess of my camera. But seriously, the city essentially hits the mountains. Unbelievable. Or, believable, but hard to believe.



Hey, I got a haircut!
