Our Trip to Colorado

Jarad and I ventured west...to Estes Park, CO, in August. Jarad's grandma, Betty, is an alum of the University of CO, and a member of their hiking club. This club has met for reunions every 5 years (and sometimes more often) since the '40's!! We were happy to escort Betty out there and to and from various destinations. We stayed at the YMCA of the Rockies, a beautiful location. Below are pictures from our trip...

The three of us at Bear Lake, one of the most popular destinations for hiking and sightseeing in Rocky Mountain National Park...


I made some new friends when I spotted these elk at the entrance to the YMCA. They were pretty content in their meadow, and didn't seem to mind intrusive people with cameras (like me!)...


Jarad & I stop for a quick pic at Bear Lake...you just can't beat the view! Oh, and the mountains are nice, as well!!
