I Like Thursday #98 - A Day in the Mountains

We had a chance to get up in the mountains for a hike the other day, and it was so lovely!  I'm not sure what happened to our summer, but there has not been much time to go hiking, and I've been feeling deprived!


The view from the start of the trail - "ahhhhhhh!"  You need this once in awhile!


It was a really pretty day - warm, sunny, and clear blue sky, which we haven't seen much of this summer because of all the fires out here in the West.


The trail followed along the North Fork of the Big Thompson River.  I love the sound of a river running by!


I really like taking pictures of my husband, Mike, involved in his favorite activity!


He always gets some good ones!


So enjoyable!


Happy Thursday, friends!  Hope you are having a great week!

  6. there is just something about being out in the wild; the silence, the hush of the wind in the trees...so comforting and re-energizing... hugs, Julierose

  11. I'll say it again - you are so lucky to live near mountains! So, so pretty. We haven't hiked in mountains since our kids were in school. Those vacations were just the best. On one of our trips we stayed in Durango and hiked around Silverton. So beautiful!
