Our route

Our road trip to Mount Rushmore and back to Denver took us a week.

During that time we travelled approximately 1500 miles - give or take - as we did a lot of shorter tours around the areas we stopped in.

The trip:
Friday - arrive Denver, travel to Scottsbluff
Saturday - explore Scottsbluff, travel to Rapid City
Sunday - explore around Rapid City. Rapid City Sunday night
Monday - travel to Cheyenne. Stay in Cheyenne one night
Tuesday - travel to Steamboat Springs. Stay in Steamboat Springs two nights
Wednesday - explore around Steamboat Springs
Thursday - travel to Denver. Stay in Denver Thursday and Friday nights
Friday - explore Denver
Saturday - fly back to Houston

Here's a link to a Google 'story' about our trip.

Denver then home

We had two nights in Denver before flying home.

This is a lovely city, gorgeous views of course, and we found the city to be really lively and interesting.

I'm sure there is lots to see and do in Denver. We just scratched the surface and will no doubt go back.

We liked just walking the length of the downtown area, watching kayaks and boarders on the river and generally just enjoying the city. 

We found pleasant bars to pass the time in, and could see that there were a lot of lovely restaurants.

Our hotel was the Hyatt Regency near the Convention Center.
