Colorado

We took a trip to Woodland Park, Colorado with a few of our friends to attend a conference.  While there we did a little hiking/sightseeing and after the conference we met up with Tommy & Jena in Aspen. This is Garden of the Gods.  I've always wanted to go there and was pleasantly surprised to find out that it's FREE!



Our conference we held at a beautiful place that looked out at Pike's Peak.

It rained every afternoon and one of those days there was a full rainbow.  (Plus a small 2nd one).

We saw lots of these guys.

Hiked one day at Red Rocks Canyon.  We could see Garden of the Gods in the distance.

We hiked in Maroon Bells with Tommy & Jena.



This is the lower lake.  Maroon Bells Lake.

Beautiful aspens everywhere.


This is the upper lake.  Crater Lake.

More tomorrow.....

Fun times in Aspen

It has been many, many years since we went down an Alpine Slide.  But it was just as fun as we remembered!


This was one of the longest, highest gondolas I've been on.  Not exactly my favorite!

Maroon Bells.  Sure was pretty.

One of the highest peaks we were on this trip.


Steve gave the old rock climbing wall a try.
