With my last day of vacation, I woke up to beautiful blue skies in Frisco. With no particular plans I spent the morning in Frisco, going down to the edge of Dillon Reservoir after breakfast. The mountains and water around there are beautiful.
I finally decided to make my way back down out of the mountains. With no particular plans, and some time to spare, I took a side trip to Lookout Mountain and to Buffalo Bill’s grave. There is a nice nature preserve at the top of Lookout Mountain run by Jefferson County. It was a peaceful place to sit and rest a bit and enjoy the ambiance. I primarily went to Buffalo Bill’s grave because I vaguely remember it from my early childhood days giving a great vantage point over the city. The day I was there, it was pretty hazy and the view towards downtown Denver wasn’t great. I don’t know if it’s always like that these days, or if I’ve just hit the city on bad air days.
I made my way back down to the city, and swung by the old neighborhood before eventually heading out to the airport. It didn’t seem like a long enough break, but I’m realizing I also need to add more structure to my vacations to take full advantage of my time off. All in all a good vacation with some great theater, and some nice scenery.
