Love that. Colorado is a favorite state to visit. I lived in Wyoming.

@JackDaniels Glad you enjoyed.
I've had a love affair with this part of the rockies for many years. 😍
JackDaniels · 46-50, M
@Magenta Me too. My favorite place.

Sounds perfect! I went on something similar in Madeira last year, went down on a toboggan, neither were free 😥
BlobbyMcBlobface · 100+, M
@Magenta You're welcome. They're pushed/pulled down the hill several times a day by those men dressed in white, then the men walk back up, it's a mile and a half so they're very fit, the toboggans are taken back up on trucks.
The road surface is shiny from wax that they put on the toboggans, they go quite fast in some parts.
Have a go if you're ever in Madeira, it's good fun 😊

@BlobbyMcBlobface I was asking about how they did it back in the 1900's, but must have been the same as present day.

No doubt they were in great shape. Zing! ⚡

@Magenta Oops, sorry, yes they were. Those uniforms are exactly the same as they were all those years ago

I did this once and it scared me so bad my knees almost went out from me. I will wait at the bottom with Deg

@tobynshorty You want a coffee too?
Magenta · F
@tobynshorty Aaw. Ok, see you at the bottom. ☕
Magenta · F
@Shybutwilling2bfriends 🧡 I don't need to travel to "exotic lands" to see magnificence. It's in my back yard.
@Magenta you're very lucky

What a wonderful ride through those gorgeous autumn/fall colors.
Magenta · F
@FreddieUK Exhilarating!
WasEP · 51-55, M
I can only imagine how much more beautiful it was to see in person!
I don't trust any cable cars anymore. They keep falling to the ground in Europe. I'm not being carried in an egg carton suspended from 200ft by a piece of string 😒

@ostfuidctyvm 🫣 Ugh that's horrible. It's a scary thought for sure.
AllAboutLaffs · 80-89, M

That is majestic. Wow.
Magenta · F
@Adogslife Mmhm!

@Magenta I’m more ocean than mountain, but that’d be a good example of an exception.

Me in another era near the source of the Arkansas:
Magenta · F
@JoyfulSilence Well hello, Mr. Really lovely, joyful one.
JoyfulSilence · 51-55, M
@Magenta I love the fiery trees!

They are still mostly green here, though. So warm!
Jeally does not really begin to describe it .. ;-) Enjoy.
Magenta · F
@BrandNewMan Jeally? Or did you mean jelly?
@Magenta Jealous .. loved the times I've visited CO
Thatsright · 61-69, M
Is it open year round?
Magenta · F
@Thatsright I believe it's closed for short periods for maintenance and such. But it's also open for winter ski season.
