Day 4 - Graduation at CSU and Hot Sulfur Springs

We stayed over night west of Denver close to the CSU graduation ceremony.  The day started early.  There was so much energy in the arena from the families of the graduates; and as the graduates walked in, I could really feel so much excitement and hope. 

Following the ceremony, it was time to point the compass west and travel back into the Rocky Mountains.  We ended up on US Route 40 which took us up and over an elevation of 10,500 feet with many switch backs.  It was a little scary because of the deep canyons around every curve.

Finally, we arrived to Hot Sulphur Springs, which is on the other side of the Rocky Mountain National Park.  The main attraction are hot springs which are located at a resort in town with 22 pools.  It's a really quaint town with dirt roads and a restaurant off the beaten path that had fantastic food.  If I ever come through here again, I will stop for a visit.
