First visit: Aug 2024
The original plan was to visit Montrose (we were there last year as documented in the RJG) with side trips to Ouray and Telluride, but we decided to make that a separate trip, probably next year sometime. US-50 is still a mess, so perhaps by next year all will be ready.
So we decided to head on home. It's been a minute since we last journeyed this far west on I-70, arguably the most beautiful Interstate drive in America (though a bit stressful when considering the sheer amount of traffic). We picked up the highway in Rifle, and the drive from Vernal to there was also pretty. We arrived in Glenwood Springs at about 11:00, perfect time for a quick lunch.
Chomps seemed to be the local favorite so we went there. Sitting near downtown, it's relatively easy to get to and park despite all the construction. Glenwood Springs always seems congested to me, and I've felt that way since my first visit there in 1994.
Mrs. RJG ordered the Turkey and Swiss sub with a side of their homemade chicken green chili. As noted, we went to four different sandwich places on this visit, and we both declared this the best of them all. She also loved the green chili. I went with the Italian (of course I did). Really good spicy sandwich with peppers, brown mustard, and nicely heated too.
Easy recommendation.
And that concludes our RJG 2024 journey!
