I recently realized I miss these rocky vistas

A while back we had a chance to travel through Colorado, Utah, Arizona, and a bit of Idaho. We hoped to hunt down some of the fall foliage, as well as take our son on his first intercontinental trip. As an added bonus, Halloween in America!

THe photos here have been taken with a Fuji X-T20 (digital), a Mamiya C220 (6x6 on 120 film), a Canon FTb and later a Canon TX (there's a story behind that, not a fascinating one, but a story; 35mm film), and a DJI Mini 3 drone (you can guess these). And a smartphone, natch.

And since I regularly come back to some of those photos and memories, revisiting the three-ish weeks we spent there AND updating this blog at the same time seems like a good idea.

Landing in the Mile High City

We touched down in Denver, to spend the first few days there and adjust to the height. For reference, we live about 300 meteres abouve sea level, and we planned on hitting mountains almost 4000 meters high. That would be my personal higest elevation ever. Turns out, I could've used a longer time to adjust, since I was hit hard by altitude sicknes. We only spent one night high up, went back down and set out on our interstate roadtrip.
