I am so glad that fall is here/coming. Such a beautiful time in the mountains. Especially later in the days as the days are getting shorter. Juat a beautiful time of year. I just really liked this picture of the stream flowing out of Timberline Lake with the Lake up above. Timberline Lake is a great lake near Leadville. A bit of a steep incline to get there but the lake is large and their is a Perimeter trail and plenty of spots to enjoy the views. New blog is up now about this hike, link in bio. Back to the well a couple of weeks for this week's #sundayselfie This one was me at Mills Lake in @rockynps such a cool lake and the 5th lake I had seen that day. If you get a chance to visit Rocky Mountain National Park I highly recommend it. So last night I had this great plan to get to the top of Lions Head at @stauntonstatepark for Sunset. I grossly overestimated my hiking speed and about a half mile short on the elk falls overlook. But the colors of the clouds mixed with a smokey haze was still pretty....even if I had a partially obstructed view. Code Gold! I found my first changing leaves of the season last night on the lions back trail at Staunton! Fall is officially on its way! The Burning Bear trail #601 was a really cool hike. Started near a stream and then open views of some great tree lined hills. That was all flat and then it got steep! Up a hill to the old remains of a log cabin. The flat part would be a perfect hike for all skills while the hill for those looking for a good workout. I have a post up about it on my website currently. (Link in bio) Before the weather got nice over Labor Day weekend I was up in @rockynps and while it is always great to hike under blue skies there is something mystical about seeing the clouds and mountains touch. This will always impress me and if you haven't seen it, it is worth a trip on a cloudy day if you get the chance. Ok this post is more for my bingo card. This is the first elk that I have gotten a good picture of in Colorado at a park. I did see one down at the Grand Canyon but this is the first one that I have seen while here. Saw this up at @rockynps just enjoying a little snack before dark. I will soon return to regular programming.
