We had a spectacular day yesterday. We started the day in Rocky Mountain National Park hiking a trail that begins at Bear Lake, passes Nymph Lake and Dream Lake and ends at Emerald Lake. The weather was perfect and this happens to have been the best weekend for viewing the yellow aspen leaves. The hike was several miles. We started high up and climbed a total of about 600 feet to somewhere around 10,000 feet. The air was beautifully clear and the views were amazing. After that we took a drive up the Old Fall River Road to the visitors center at 12,000 feet and then drove back down Trail Ridge Road to Estes Park for dinner. A great day. I'm including two photos.
One is a picture of Long's Peak from the Trail. This was the first 'fourteener' that I ever climbed in Colorado. That was
several years ago.
The other is a picture of all of us sitting in front of Bear Lake at the end of the hike.
This is being a great trip.
