Coors' fence dimensions are huge, but the thin air makes it seem like its a little league park.  6 balls flew over the fence, and 3 more hit the wall.  The home runs, however, all traveled well beyond the fences, even the ones hit by non power hitters.  The ball is said to travel about 5 to 10% longer at Coors, due to the Mile High elevation.  Though the Rockies lost, we were treated to quite a slugfest!

The 97 degree day also provided us with some hot seats, but we managed to have a great time.  After the game, we didn't have much time to explore Denver, since we had to leave for Grand Teton National Park immediately.  The 8 hours drive consisted of fields, some hills, mountains, and the occasional town.  We even passed a town with a sign that stated its population was "1".  Tonight, we are staying in a teepee in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, a beautiful ski resort town.  The teepee was basically the only accommodation within our price range, but we are loving it!
