We have had a wonderful week, greatly enjoying the visit of Ct, and her daughters, Ali and Sarah. They arrived Wednesday afternoon from Los Angeles, and we had a quiet evening as everybody got settled. On Thursday, as they were acclimating to the altitude, we took them on one of our favorite walks, up to Adams Falls.
We continued for about an hour, following the river, and as the water levels were a lot lower than in the spring. we were able to be a bit more adventurous.
On Friday, we decided to try a different type of hike, and let some steady steeds do the work. We rented horses from the Winding river ranch, and took a 3 hour trek in to the RMNP.
The ride was spectacular, as we crisscrossed the Colorado river, heading up into the mountains.
We saw new meadows,
as we climbed into the park, and then followed the winding trails, ending back at the barn, just in time for a steak dinner by the campfire. (Michael had chicken.)
Joe and Michael - thank you for the great write up and the wonderful pics and, most of all, for our glorious visit to your little slice of heaven. xxoo, CT, Allie and Sarah
