Travel Time - RMNP

We might have logged a lot of miles across our State! What gorgeous country. Our goal this time was to go to placed we hadn't been yet, and seek out new trails. Oh my Stars! I want to do more!!

This trip took us up to a trail in Rocky Mountain National Park... lawsy Mercy - did we climb and climb and climb  - up to 12000 ft. Oh - can you see the world from there!!!


In this particular hike - we experienced all 4 seasons in 8 hours.  The clouds moved in and the background for these Aspens was amazing!!

We made it up to the Falls.  All of us practiced our photography, and tried to get that water blur to show you how fast it was moving.  My boys' pictures turned out great too - but since this is my blog, you are stuck with my photos ( ha ha ha)


I think this tree showed that fall was coming, The others thought it might be beetle kill. I choose to believe me ;-)   It is so amazing that there are beetle kill trees and right next to it will be a healthy tree with no damage at all




Remember , when I hike, I stop a lot.  Who can resist these views???   We were not at the top yet - though!


Pine cone - just in case you haven't seen an immature one yet ;-)




Little bit made a friend. The little chipmunks were just scurrying all over the place!!!



So - I have some Black and White Photos - over at my photo blog. And I have more to share - I just didn't want to bore you too much - all at once!!

  3. Which "hill" did you hike up? Son & DIL are going out there yet this month....he wants to hike up Longs Peak. Personally, I think he's crazy and DIL has problems breathing at altitudes lower than that. Canned oxygen maybe??
