Denver: A Mile High

I know that most of you are thinking about warm-weather getaways, but surprisingly enough, Denver is in that category, and not just because it just doesn’t seem like it’s far enough south of the Canadian border.

It’s not unusual for temperatures in the Mile-High City to be absolutely balmy in the middle of January.  In addition, the sun is so strong that sunscreen with a high SPF is mandatory.  Plus, according to locals, snowfall is paltry most years.

But here’s the best reason of all to visit Denver: Rockmount Ranch Wear in the heart of the city.  Step through the doors, and you’ll have no doubt that you are in the West.

Here are some video snippets:

I often resemble a crow in the presence of shiny things, and I’ve always wanted a pair of boots like the ones for kids shown here, where they light up at every step. But alas, even Rockmount can’t work miracles, customizing Lite Brite cowboy boots for adults.

I can dream…
