Mesa Verde NP to Cortez

Contemplating the descent down from Mesa Verde National Park to Cortez, CO - the end of the cycling trip!

Day 13 - Mesa Verde and Cortez.

We cycled just over 1,000 kms across Colorado!
Today is the last day of our cycling trip!  We have a short ride cycling just over 30 kms on highway 160 - straight to Cortez.

We left Morefield Campground and enjoyed a scenic descent to the bottom, before following the highway into Cortez.

Reaching Cortez signaled the end of the cycling trip and we took a few commerative photos by the welcome sign and felt proud of ourselves for reaching the end without having any punctures or accidents!


We celebrated over lunch and then headed over to the Kokopelli Bike Shop in downtown Cortez to drop the bikes off as the owner kindly agreed to ship the bikes back to New World Sports bike shop in Fort Collins. 

The guys at Kokopelli were extremely helpful and we would highly recommend them!
