We moved to AZ after we retired. I've taken lost of trips to CO also. Breckenridge, Silver Springs or other camping locations in the mountains mostly. Denver for conventions, etc... Would live there also, except for the cold, as I had frostbite in Korea and cold really bothers me since then, main reason I moved from MA to CA and now live in AZ instead of CO. There is snow in Sedona, but its warm in the daytime and it does not last long.

But, the jeep tour over the Continental Divide was one of my Lifetime Highlights. Pink Jeep tours in Sedona, etc are another photo trip everyone may enjoy.

My motto was "Live today, you never know if you can live tomorrow." So we always traveled, some years on a motorcycle, some in a Van, now in a Motorhome.

When we retired moved to AZ, if you look for Mather Campground, ELK you will see some shots that I caught.
