So after a week in Utah, my family came for a week in Colorado. We rented some condos outside of Rocky Mountain National Park. Our first day we went for a drive through the park. Our first stop was to Adams Falls. It was a short hike, but Nathan only wanted mom to carry him. It was an omen of things to come on our future hikes. He did calm down once I was carrying him in the Ergo.
We continued our drive up into the mountains. The road climbs quite a bit, but the views are quite spectacular from 12,000 ft!
At one of our stops there were a million chipmunks. And they loved people. They would come right up to you. There was one guy who just sat super still and he had them climbing all over him.
We did go on one more hike that day. We hiked to the top of a mountain. We're just that adventurous. Really you could park really close to the top and then walk up the rest of the way on a paved trail. I took Nathan with me in the Ergo. He loved telling me to, "Giddy up Mommy!" and have me gallop away. It wasn't too bad going up, but once you turned around to go back down the wind was in your face and we were frozen. Poor little Nathan kept burying his face in my back to try and keep warm. We did get to see a some pretty amazing views so it was worth it.

Wow, that's beautiful! I went there with my family when I was in high school, and strangely, I don't remember the beauty, but I do remember 2 things. It was really cold for mid-July, and the friendly squirrels. Glad to see nothing has changed. ;)
