After a long day in Rocky Mountain National Park, including a hike around Bear Lake Region and a driving tour of Trail RidgeRoad, we only made it back to the hotel before 10pm the previous day. So this morning, we woke up late, and checked out of the hotel in Longmont at 10am. My friend had a flight leaving Denver at 1pm, so I offered to drop him off at the airport.<\/p>\n<p>After that, I had an entire afternoon to spend in Denver before my flight in the evening. While I could check out the mountains to the west of the city, it&#8217;s a pretty hot day and I was a bit over-dressed. Given the not-so-good experience in Red Rocks Park in the sun 3 days ago, I decided instead to check out Denver Art Museum, indoor and with air conditioning.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s the Sunday before Labor Day. The streets near Denver&#8217;s Civil Center Park offered free parking. It&#8217;s just that there were some events going on, so I circled around for 20 minutes and ended up in a spot 5 blocks away, which wasn&#8217;t the most pleasant experience, nor was the walk to and from the parking spot through some less-than-ideal neighborhoods.<\/p>\n<p>Once inside, I found Denver Art Museum to be much larger than I expected. I thought it would mostly feature local exhibits, instead it featured a rather comprehensive collection from around the world.<\/p>\n<p>Since we summitted Longs Peak 2 days ago, I headed straight for midwestern paintings, and found the following ones featuring Longs Peak.<\/p>\n<div class=\"splide\" id=\"splide-major-1\">\n<div class=\"splide__track\">\n<ul class=\"splide__list\">\n<li class=\"splide__slide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2022\/09\/04\/20220904_132113.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2022\/09\/04\/thumbnails\/20220904_132113.jpg\" width=\"95%\" alt=\"Estes Park, Longs Peak\" \/><\/a><\/br>Estes Park, Longs Peak<\/br>\n<div style=\"font-size: smaller;text-align: left\">Albert Bierstadt.American, born in Germany, 1830-1902.Estes Park, Longs Peak.1877.Oil paint on canvas<\/br>In the early 1870s, Anglo-lrish nobleman and big game sportsman Lord Dunraven visited Colorado.
