Glenwood Springs CO - white water rafting



































The weather has been fabulous and it was perfect for our white water adventure.

Hanging Lake CO - climbing the mountain for the view

































You walk 1.2 miles and over a 1000 feet up and there is Hanging Lake - an amazing place. You follow a river that starts at the lake and winds its way down the side of the hill.
And then you walk up further to Spouting Rock Falls...another unique and wonderful view.
Jimbo kept at my tail and so I just kept climbing rock after rock until we reached the top. Our whole crew made it to the top with varying degrees of comfort but all realized it was worth the effort.

Edwards CO - we made it up the mountain










The toughest part of the trip was getting from Denver to Edwards - down the road a few miles from Vail.
A semi truck caught on fire and was torched. It slowed all the traffic down and we sat for the better part of the afternoon waiting to get to and then through the big tunnel.
Edwards is a lovely community nestled in the mountains with a different view every direction you look.
