Vail mountain, August 15. On the gondola going to Eagle's Nest ski lodge. The weekend traffic on I-70 has settled down from the previous night's exodus from Denver.
On the way up the mountain, the ski lift stopped leaving a downward bound gondola opposite us. One of the passengers seemed to take great delight in the juxtaposed gondolas.
The Gore Range with its pinkish granite provides wonderful mountain images at sunset with little effort. For many years the ski lift in Lion's Head has provided free rides to the top on Friday evenings (and now four days a week).
