"We experienced a symphony of color, altitude and awe, Joe said. From the crisp, pine-scented air, the journey felt like an untamed invitation to embrace nature's grandeur. They made stops in Denver, Boulder, Rocky Mountain National Park, Glenwood Hot Springs, Aspen and Breckenridge. They especially loved the golden Aspens, the call of the elk and the profound stillness of the Continental Divide."
"One of the most spectacular is Abu Simbel in Upper Egypt along Lake Nasser, near the Sudan border. It comprises the Temple for Ramses II and a Temple for his wife, Nefertiti. They were literally hewn from rocks surrounding them, with tombs and bas relief walls of figures below this entrance. The size of these outer statues is so impressive."
Mona Shah and Joe Samagond drove across Colorado, stopping in Denver, Boulder, Rocky Mountain National Park, Glenwood Hot Springs, Aspen and Breckenridge. They experienced crisp, pine-scented air, golden Aspens, elk calls and profound stillness at the Continental Divide. Joe recommends booking a timed entry pass to enter Rocky Mountain National Park on recreation.gov; entries cost $2, become available a month or two in advance and sell quickly. Wendy and Rick Walleigh visited Egypt and Jordan, viewing sites 2,000–5,000 years old. Abu Simbel near Lake Nasser includes temples hewn from surrounding rock, tombs, bas relief walls and enormous outer statues.
