Geocaching in Colorado!

While in Glenwood Springs, Tommy decided to take up Geocaching. It's a wonderful thing when a son takes up a hobby that his father also likes.  They stick their hands in places that you probably don't want to and wander around in the strangest places.  This one was out in the middle of a field.

You have to be alert for muggles!  (non geocachers who might want to steal your cache)

Searching on the side of the road.

In the park.

This was at the top of a mountain.

This was along a river and one of the most clever we have seen.

I'm sure he is running around LA right now trying to find some more!

Hanging Lake

One of the hikes Steve and I took while we were still in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, was to Hanging Lake.  This is a very popular trail.  It was also a very difficult one.  It was over 1 mile straight up.  Most of the trail was rock.  Very hard on the legs and feet, but well worth the effort.  The lake at the top was beautiful.  It was very clear and the waterfall was pretty nice.

This guy kept following us around.

I don't know if you are able to see the rocks along the trail that these people are walking down.

Biking the Glenwood Canyon Trail

We went on a bike ride Sunday morning. It was 16 miles long, mostly downhill. Good thing! My knees are killing me just from going downhill! We arranged for a bike company to take us and our bikes to the trailhead.

The trail runs between the Colorado River and Highway 70. Most of the highway through here is a double decker.

There is also a train that runs on the other side of River.

It was a beautiful ride. The weather was perfect.
