The drive from Denver to Grand Junction is one of my favorite drives! Beautiful views of the snow capped Rocky Mountains hit you right away. Silverthorne, Copper Mountain, Vail, Breckenridge, Glenwood Canyon, Rifle, Palisade – all so uniquely beautiful and distinct in their own way!
I have taken the drive from Denver to Grand Junction at least a dozen times over the years, and the views never grow stale! Each visit to Grand Junction always fills my heart!
My aunt and uncle are adorable hosts who spoil me rotten and make me feel right at home. My uncle is an amazing man with the best sense of humor! That apple didn’t fall far from the tree to my cousin Ed who is one of the smartest and funniest people I know. His clever wit is always so much fun to be around! My cousin Geoff is the badass bass player for Zolopht!
Zolopht‘s third album just released July 2020! Check it out!
