Road Trip Anyone??

I was just reading the blogs and I noticed that earlier I did not mention in detail anything about the rental cars. When vacationing once in Austria my family decided to rent a minivan and it was a lot of fun. Like Cary Packing said, it's a great way to spend time with the family and to actually have a hands on experience with your ultimate destination. When you get somewhere and just decide to pay for a tour guide, YES you do get to see many of the sites and learn about the history behind them and everything, but when you think about you can do that all on your own. I was now just browsing the web looking at the ultimate road trips to Colorado and found the following website which shows the two twenty Scenic Drives and Road Trips of Colorado: www.allgetaways.com/top_getaways.asp?areaid=100072. All of them are great, but I'm just going to talk a little bit about my favorite three:

• Rocky Mountain National Park (Estes Park, CO)- So imagine yourself doing a 360 degree turn and seeing both a densely covered forest and then snow covered peaks?!! Sounds great huh...Well this is exactly what you will find yourself seeing when visiting the Rocky Mountain National Park. Here you not only escape into a vast range of mountains, you are at THE park of the nation. It is the greatest collection of nature breathtaking scenery's in the United States, with a mixture of: valleys, glaciers, and alpine lakes. If you want your eyes to just dive into a scene of just pure natural beauty then be sure to visit.

• Great Sand Dunes National Monument (Mosca, CO)- When you look at the forest with all the different greens that cover it, sand doesn't really pop into your mind. Well, don't be fooled, because not very far from the forest lies a desert. It's not just any desert, in fact it is one where 700 ft. tall sand dunes block the view to the states great and vast mountain range. The sand dunes are HUGE, and huge is also the astonishment that you will feel when you actually see these in person.

• Dinosaur Diamond Prehistoric Highway: Colorado (Grand Junction, CO)- If your into science and the whole dinosaur thing then come on over to this place. By visiting this place, you will feel like your taking a trip back to the past. You see rock carvings from the Fremont Indians and you also get the chance to visit Dinosaur Hill where earlier dinosaur excavations are displayed. 

These three are great places to go and I hope that they can  help you find some other places of interest for the best road trip.
