The day after her 21st birthday, Paul McCartney and Jane Asher spent the day exploring the Rocky Mountains in Denver, Colorado.
The Beatles’ assistant Mal Evans hired a Hertz rental car and drove them into the mountains. They parked away from the road among some trees where they walked down a rocky gorge to a river, where they paddled in the cold water. Afterwards they walked barefoot in snowdrifts.
In the evening McCartney and Asher ate a large meal at the house they borrowed from Bert Rosenthal, and afterwards fell asleep in front of his colour television.
