Day 5 Sherman Pass Hike

Our car is the tiny silver speck at the bottom of the hill.

Dauntless mine.

Suddenly it got very steep!

Tiny red flowers at the top

My dad and Max, at around 13,200 ft. View over the other side of the mountain.

View of the side we climbed up

It was really windy!

Fog coming over the mountain. In an hour, it would be hailing.

Flowers near Peerless Mine.

Colorado Day 2

                                             Sunrise proposal!

                              After all the excitement, heading out on a hike.

                                             Lunch at a glacial lake.

                                             Trying to find the second lake.

                                             Can't decide which is prettier!

Colorado Wildlife

One of many adorable chipmunks.

Marmot, right before he started to play dead so I would stop bothering him.

A ptarmigan. Amazingly difficult to see.


I wish I could have gotten some pika photos, but they were too fast!

New Year's Eve & Day

Beautiful sunset at Ocean Beach, before we went home and drank all the wine we got on our wine-tasting trip!

Drive down the coast on New Year's Day.


Stopped at Pilar Point Harbor. Wearing my new scarf from Bev!
