Colorado; Under the turquoise sky . for individual useare available, but the majority of Denver visitors prefer passenger seats inprofessionally driven motor cars so that they may devote time and atten-tion which otherwise might be absorbed by the road and the steering-wheelto the ever-changing delights of mountain parks, rugged peaks, and thosegreat gashes in the earths surface which have resulted from millions ofyears of erosion.
