I've lived here six years now and have not spent nearly enough time in the mountains. They are beautiful and something I should not take for granted. Last Wednesday I took my youngest daughter and we went for a 3 miles hike/walk. I thought maybe some of you might enjoy seeing what I have just 30 minutes from my front door.
Love the big green meadow and I expect if I watched that meadow every night for 3 nights I would see a bear or two. Not to mention elk and mule deer. The creek you see in the bottom of the photo actually runs all the way down the mountain, and once there, is only about 75 yards from my house.
Friendly little red tree squirrel looking down on us as we hiked along the trail.
Just big and beautiful rugged mountains and canyons. Love the lack of people I might add.
Yours truly in my favorite element just plain enjoying life. Hope you guys enjoyed coming along vicariously.
