Time for this week's #Sundayselfie and sometimes we forget to take a moment on the trail to just take it all in. We focus on the finish and not the moments that lead to it. Well, this is me taking in the moment! What I'm looking at, and not pictured is Mount Princeton, a 14,000 foot peak in the Collegiate Peaks. I instead am resting comfortably at around 9,000 haha. The Narrow Gauge Trail 1432 is a beautiful hike near Buena Vista Colorado. This flat and easy hike should be available for almost all skill levels to enjoy the beauty of the Colorado Mountains. This might be my favorite picture I took this fall. The way the trees built a canopy over the road was pretty amazing. I guess I will have to transition to snow pictures soon so just wanted to hang on to fall for a little longer! Took a great walk down the Marrow Gauge trail this week just outside of Buena Vista. This flat and easy trail sits betweem Mt Princeton and Mt Antero. It has some remarkable mountain views but is easy enough that I think almost all skill levels will be able to enjoy. I have a full write up on my website now (link in bio) if you are interested in more! I am not sure how many more times I can talk about how much I love Fall in Colorado. I took a moment to sit and actually enjoy it the other day. As much as I love the gold leaves in the trees I might like the golden carpet of leaves covering the ground even more! #kuhl #kuhloutsiders I took a trip to Nathrop, Colorado this week. I had never heard of Nathrop but it was lovely. This was at the start of the Mount Princeton complex and just a perfect day to enjoy the views. A little bit of everything with gold from fall the blue skies and the evergreens on the rocky mountain side. I really love this time of year! A little bit of slightly muted fall colors hanging on near Mt. Princeton by Buena Vista today. Perfect day for a short easier hike! This week's #Sundayselfie is a throwback to hiking with my hiking buddy @sabinasaur this summer at Lake Isabelle. We got to hike again this weekend but ended up playing a game of Hiking Chicken to see who would give up first! A fun look at it is now posted on my website (link in bio)
