Time was limited, but we rarely make it to the mountains and decided to take a drive anyway. Can you believe we live in Colorado and see these mountains from a distance just about every day but hardly ever truly experience them? Seriously! What the heck is wrong with us? We can come up with all sorts of excuses (many of them quite good actually) but if you really want to do something, you figure it out and make it happen – even if only for a moment.
Hallet Peak & Bear Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park
I wasn’t overly impressed with the images I walked away with and think my time would have been more relaxing had I just picked a spot on a boulder and sat still for a while simply burning the image into my memory instead.
Also making the trip worth it was lunch at Smokin’ Dave’s BBQ & Taphouse. Oh my heavens! That’s good stuff!
