The Colorado river was much more enjoyable today as we went biking through the Glenwood Canyon and cycled past the same stretch we rafted down yesterday. Without the rain, it was a far more pleasant (and much drier) trip and cycling keeps you a bit warmer than just sitting in the boat. We cycled a total of 17 miles and had a great time doing so.This afternoon, we split into a number of different groups and explored Glenwood Springs in a variety of ways. Some of us enjoyed poking through some of the shops downtown, some found the bowling alley, some just relaxed at the hotel, and some of us went back to the caves and took the Adventure Tour.
Those of us on the tour spent 90 minutes crawling on our hands and knees and squeezing through places like the birth canal and the rabbit hole to see parts of the cave (like Angel Point, for example) that the commercial tour didn't cover. We have to thank Erin, our guide, for giving us such a great experience and for having an awesome sense of humor. The "Rocket Science of Elbow Pads" started us off on the right foot and we had an absolute blast the rest of the time! If she were one of the participants of the trip, that would have definitely been the quote of the day.Tomorrow we have one more performance at Glenwood Springs Presbyterian Church and will be on our way home after that. Thanks again for following along!
