Black Hawk, Colorado

May 24,2009

Today ,we plan to bring our guest to Rocky Mountain. We choose to use the scenic road so that our friends are able to see more scenery along the way.

Breakfast at Einstein Bros' Bagels near our place


Nice little houses we saw at a small town along our way


Great mountain view


Reached Black Hawk after 1 hours drive from Denver
Black Hawk, " The City Of Mills" is one of Colorado's oldest cities.


But now it's the largest gambling town in Colorado.


So if you want throngs of crazy gamblers, lots of traffic, slots, poker and blackjack gambling frenzies, you've definitely found it in Black Hawk.

Whole street are casinos

Old Train in Black Hawk


Red Indian Sculpture


Nice sculpture but I'm not sure what does this sculpture means. Do tell me if you know


Soo Beng, Soni and Jack


Nice old building which are converted to casinos

Cheers!

After Black Hawk, another stop is Saint Malo Chapel. Saint Malo Chapel is very near to Rocky Mountain, possibly another half hour before reaching Rocky Mountain.


Saint Malo Chapel entrance

Jesus sculpture on the mountain



This is the chapel


Nice view of the Chapel

Jack is enjoying himself beside the pond


Soni and Soo Beng not forgetting to take photo


Me too!
If you're using the interstate to drive to Rocky Mountain, there isn't as much scenery to watch. If you wish to visit all these great places I recommend driving the scenic route off I-70 (US6 -> US119 -> US72 -> US7), but remember not to speed because Sheriffs are every where!
