We love, love, love every season in Colorado, but our favorite one just might be autumn. It can be a short spurt between the end of summer and the first snowfall, but all the more reason to savor that crisp weather and those golden Aspen leaves. What better way to soak up the season than with a fall hike! Today we ventured to Glen Eyrie with some friends to hit the trail to Queen's Falls. This 3 mile hike round trip traverses back and forth over a mountain stream. Some technical maneuvering over boulders and strategically placed logs helps you to 'forge' the river. The last time Reid went on this hike, he was riding in the hiking backpack; today he hiked the entire route with his friends and little brother Grant was in the backpack. Our kids enjoy outdoor adventures as much as we do ... love it!
The kiddos at Queen's Falls.
These 4 and 5-year-olds are
the best hikers EVER!
No complaining at all!
Way to go!
Is that Spiderman ... or Reid?
When you hike during naptime,
this is the result ... one sleepy baby
in the backpack. Grant is
a great hiking buddy. Not a peep
or cry ... unless you count
cute baby babble!
He did try to grab a few
leaves along the way!
Even when Mom took off the backpack...
still sleeping. Must be all that hard work hiking!
