Day 44 (June 15): On a Train Between Denver and Salt Lake City

The Amtrak ride from Denver to Salt Lake City is something everybody should do at least once in their lives.   The scenery is incredible, as the train moves from Denver into the foothills and then the Rockies, follows the Colorado River as its meanders through the mountains, crosses the Grand Mesa and rides past incredible natural rock formations in Utah.  Some pics, which will not do the scenery justice:
