Lily Lake Hike June 09

Ashley drives down on her day off to meet us, along with MarKateLiv, for a short hike to Lily Mountain in Roosevelt National Forest. We are all sore from yesterday’s hiking/climbing adventure and whine periodically up the trail (“Is this really only 2 miles?” “Are we there yet?”). But the view from the summit is well worth the short trip, with all of Rocky Mountain National Park sprawling before your eyes. We eat a leisurely lunch and head down just as more rain begins to fall.



The weekend ends with a traditional stop at Coopersmith’s for food, then home for showers and a soft bed. Doug and I have lived here for 3 years now and it still sometimes strikes us how lucky we are to live in such a beautiful place with endless possibilities for outdoor adventures. Some people save up all year and vacation in a place where we can head out our front door and spend a weekend all for the price of gas, hotdogs, and beer. Nice.
