As observed near the bottom of the previous page, we are now past Glenwood Springs but not quite to Granby, CO, still in the Western Third map below. Please open the large Western Third map in a separate tab to see where the pictures on this page were taken (click on its thumbnail below). The times in the figure captions give a rough indication of distance traveled and approximate locations. |
