The day of the summer solstice! One day in the Rocky Mountains wasn't enough! We drove back and through part the mountain range, the views were honestly breath-taking. We then were off to find our next hiking location, Shadow Mountain. We got lost, and ended up in this town that looked like an old mid-western town, which was pretty interesting. We finally made it and began hiking our 10 mile journey. Thank goodness we had the sun on our side since we didn't start hiking until about 4:45 P.M. The trail was beautiful. The beginning we walked all along a beautiful river and even passed a deer. At the peak, there was a fire tower which we were able to climb and see a 360 degree view of the entire range. I would suggest this hike to anybody who likes a good hike, and would gladly hike it again! We booked it on the way down and made it out just in time for the sun to set. We were both starving for something other than nuts and fruit but had a 2+ hour commute back to any town with a food establishment still open. We had pizza, which was delicious. Another great day, my only complaint was that time was going too fast.
Look close, he's waving to us! Go this guy! Driving his little car up in the Rocky Mountains!
I love love love narrow trails.
Everything about this picture is beautiful.
A lot of the pine trees are devoured by those darn pine beetles.
I love being in the woods as the sun sets. There's just nothing prettier.
If you know me, you know that I started squealing a little bit when I saw these babes.
I've wondered so many times throughout this trip how he's as great as he is.
