It's time to depart the High-Country once again.  This time it's back up Monarch Pass, but then stay on U.S.50 past Salida, down along the Arkansas River Canyon, past Canon City and the Royal Gorge.  There's no time to visit the Gorge or any other tourist trap.  I'm Homeward Bound.  A left turn at Florence takes me to Colorado Springs.  A short ride up U.S.24 leads back to Limon and I-70 East to KC.
