We’ve all experienced those days when nothing seems to go right, you know Murphy’s Law and all, but then there are those days where everything comes together perfectly. Our last full day in Rocky Mountain National Park was just that; a nearly perfect day. After three consecutive days of hiking, we opted to take…

Which trail shall we hike today? Let’s see… Saturday was an easy hike but more of a stroll than a hike and yesterdays hike to Bierstadt Lake proved to be more of a challenge than we expected. I only later found out that it was the ‘unimproved’ trail to the lake. The…

After yesterday’s easy hike and experiencing no problems with the altitude, I was ready to tackle a lengthier hike. The trailhead to Bierstadt Lake wasn’t far from our campground and seemed ‘on paper’ to look very doable. From the Park and Ride (shuttle) parking lot to the lake was 1.6…

This week’s WordPress Photo challenge is Zigzag and it just so happened to coincide with my trip to the Denver Art Museum. This is one unique structure that captivated my attention. Check out the zigzag angles! My cultural experience started before I even entered the doors to the museum. Beautiful…

Continue reading →: Perfect for the little ones!
The weather here in Colorado has been a little uncooperative lately. It feels more like the Midwest with days and days of overcast skies and unending rain. I’m wondering what happened to the over 300 days of sunshine a year Colorado receives on average . My trip to Mt. Evans has…

Our trek continued deeper into Golden Gate Canyon State Park. This park is located about 16 miles northwest of the town of Golden and less than an hours drive from downtown Denver, yet feels miles and miles away from anything. While driving Mountain Base Road, we had stopped at several of the picnic…
