We left Yampa early in the morning, eager to begin our journey home. We decided to stop in Steamboat Springs for breakfast at Freshies, a restaurant we had visited exactly one year ago during our Steamboat-Craig overnighter. We reminisced about the delicious breakfast we had then, and our anticipation for this meal grew. After savoring a hearty breakfast, we headed over Rabbit Ears Pass, winding our way through the scenic mountain landscape. The views were incredible, and we admired the beauty around us as we rode. We continued our journey to Walden, a familiar town where we often visit. After a brief break, we set off again, crossing Cameron Peak and heading into Poudre Canyon. The canyon was lush and green, and the river flowed alongside the road. As we approached the end of our road trip, the sky darkened and ominous clouds gathered overhead. We knew a rainstorm was imminent, so we made a quick stop at the gas station at Ted’s Place near Highway 287 to bid each other farewell. With a wave and a smile, we sped off towards our homes, feeling grateful for the amazing memories we had created on our road trip.
