| California Zephyr Passing Through Rugged Utah Desert |
California Zephyr Journey Continues - I awoke Friday(Jan 23) in dry desert land in Green River, Utah. No snow for several hundred miles until the train was well into Colorado. The picture above is representative to the landscape I viewed until we were approaching Grand Junction, CO. Our first fresh air break was Grand Junction, CO, mid morning. Since we arrived early ahead of schedule we had 30+ minutes break. This was also a crew(engineer and conductors) change stop. The new crew took us all the way to Denver.
Departing Grand Junction, we eventually passed through Rifle, CO. I always look out for this town since I stayed a few days here while on my 2012 August Colorado Road Trip. I discovered and visited Rifle Falls State Park during my 2012 stay here. It was just passed Rifle, CO, that I saw the first snow of the day as we began our long journey along the Colorado River.
