The dryness definitely does make a difference, but I hate being cold at all. I was there in winter during one trip and I did notice the difference, though. I recall going out on the deck one clear night, laying down on the boards, and staring at the sky in wonder. That was the only time I ever saw the Milky Way, or so many visible stars. It was so awesome and beautiful, and left me breathless with wonder.

Words pale next to the sensation of seeing them, but I think you understand.

Cañon City (I misspelled it) was a nice town, but I don't remember anything special about it beyond the Royal Gorge and Skyline Drive. I was more entranced with Guffey, the town that had a cat as its mayor. 😅

Oh, I missed that--Guffey having a cat as mayor!

I know what you mean about how the stars look. Such a dark sky in many places, such a thin atmosphere...
