Day 6-Salt Lake City to Fort Collins

Up and on the road again today. We decided to get gas and breakfast once we were out of the city, not a good idea, not many choices. We found gas but had to drive quite awhile for food. We ended up stopping at Little America, I mean how can you pass up a 75 cent ice cream cone? We ate that while waiting for our breakfast sandwiches.

I forget how long the trains are out west!

We saw storms in the distance quite a bit today.

Cool Clouds

We pulled into Fort Collins at dinnertime and some breweries were going to be closing soon so we started with those. First up was New Belgium. My least favorite so far due to the noise level. But I did like their bike racks and I heard they give their employees bikes, that's cool. I liked their t-shirt for Snapshot but women's wouldn't have fit and the men's were too long, oh well....

Then we decided to walk to the next two breweries since we've been sitting so much the last two days. First up was O'Dell but they were closed for the holiday weekend. Right by that was Fort Collins brewery which we thought would be closed and it was open. So in we went for a flight. Some breweries let you pick your beers and others like this one let you select a standard flight or a seasonal flight. We always select the one with the fewest hoppy beers.

We got rained on a bit but then got to see a rainbow

Back at the car we saw this at New Belgium

Once we finished here we headed back to the car and drove to Equinox Brewery.

Followed by Funkwerks, good Belgium beers, we felt like we were at Ommengang Brewery with that tasting.

Our final stop was Black Bottle for a final flight and dinner. The nice thing about eating at breweries is that there's always an interesting menu and so far we haven't been disappointed by any of our choices.

Then it was time to drive the final hour or so to our campsite at Estes Park. We had to set up in the dark so we used the car lights to help us out. We were thankful the rain had stopped. This was our last camping night for awhile.
