A beautiful view of the Rocky mountains across Sloan’s Lake in Denver Colorado. Viewing the snow capped peaks is one my favorite views from this lake and park.
Meadow of Colorado Blue Flax
Teig and I love to hike the Colorado Rockies when the alpine meadows are in full bloom. I found a field full of beautiful blue Lewis Flax while hiking the Continental Divide above Cottonwood Pass. Teig and I layed in this meadow of blue and watched the clouds pass overhead... just priceless!
Bird on Feeder
We were relaxing at RedRocks Trading post in Morrison Colorado watching the few bird feeders in the back during a snowstorm and this little guy flew up and started feeding. He seemed quite fearless and hungry and was picking through the seeds in the feeder finding the tasty morsels.
Swan River Valley from Whale Peak
After spending the morning hiking up to Whale Peak from Georgia Pass, we were afforded these classic high Colorado Rockies view. If you are not inspired to get out and explore after seeing this, then you must not have a pulse.
Resting by Lost Creek
Teig resting by Lost Creek on our hike into the Colorado’s Lost Creek Wilderness on Wigwam Trail. This wilderness is a fantastic area to explore and is relatively quiet compared to the other Front Range mountain areas near Denver. Lost Creek is also great to cool off in on warm summer days on the trail.
Calm on the Great Salt Lake
The sunsets looking west across the Great Salt Lake from Antelope Island are breathtaking. When you are in Utah, take a moment and head out to this state park and enjoy the beauty!
White Rock Bay from Frary Peak Trail
Frary Peak is the high point of Antelope Island, the largest island in the Great Salt Lake . The trails starts near the great Salt Lake and climbs to 6,596 to the summit of the peak. This is one of the great views while traveling the trail. There are many interesting features of Antelope Island and Frary Peak that make the trip worthwhile. For geology buffs, Frary Peak has some of the oldest rocks on earth, at 2.7 billion years old. Interestingly, some of the youngest non-volcanic rocks also reside on the island. The tufa rocks were deposited by lake Bonneville 10,000 to 15,000 years ago.
