2017 May: On the road to Portland:Day 3

This morning we had coffee at a little cafe in Trinidad, Colorado.  There was an interesting building right across the street.

The residents are so proud of their town that even the bricks are printed with "Trinidad."  There is also a sign on a hill, just like in Hollywood.

After the cafe we walked around the town and found a pretty pink building and several pot shops.

 

From Trinidad, we took a two lane highway past beautiful scenery.

We stopped for lunch in Westcliff, CO at "Chappy's."

Check out the menu.

After lunch we drove through Gunnison, CO.  More spectacular scenery -

 I took the picture of the black canyon out the side window of the car.

We stopped at Montrose, CO for the night.  We had to find a restaurant with a patio so the dog could be with us.  It was a little chilly but we all enjoyed fajitas.  Definitely not Tex-Mex-  the meat was like what you get in a Philly Cheesesteak.  It tasted good nonetheless.

Tomorrow we plan on spending the night in Salt Lake City, Utah.
