Tenderfoot – Oro Trail and Vail Visit
A 3 mile RT hike near Dillion lake. This hike gives us a panoramic views of Dillion lake and area. It was a short and satisfying hike. This is a good fall hike too. We saw the aspens changing but the next week would have been perfect. We hiked under the woods watching the aspens…
State forest state park
We stayed at this remote cabin which once used to be ranger’s cabin – Stub creek cabin. I wanted to be in a forest with no electronics and well this did it. It was too remote actually (for our taste). For miles and miles to and fro this place there was no signal. But I…
Fort Collins
This was a just a stop on our way to Stub creek cabin that we had reserved for the weekend. We had so much fun at Fort Collins though. Horsetooth Reservoir It was a very hot day. We picnicked in shade along the reservoir and then cooled ourselves down by keeping our feet in the…
Pine Valley Ranch Park
This park is less known but very good for a picnic. Very short hikes and fully shaded picnic tables. We walked along the river and around the lake which was a short stroll. We picnicked there in peace and just rested.
Sawmill Reservoir
We wanted to hike but wanted a short one so that our son could walk or we could carry him. For some reason he hates the carrier. This one is a 1.3 mile round trip hike to the lake along the creek. It was nice stroll and we sat near the creek to take it…
Olympic National Park
This is our first time visiting Washington state and it was so good. Maybe we were there on a good week? But It did not rain as much as we expected. It had sun and the lush green was very inviting. We loved the bird eye view when we landed. The water and the lush…
Skaguay Reservoir
We planned a weekend getaway around my birthday. Our 1 year old can’t handle more than 2 hours in his car seat. So we choose Cripple creek. Close to this mining town is another cute tiny town called Victor. Both of them are mining towns. Those who are interested in Gold mines and such would…
Left Hand Reservoir
This Reservoir is located close to Brainard Lake Recreation Area. So I had actually planned to go to Long lakes located in the Recreation Area. Unware of the new reservation rules. We are required to reserve slots for almost every parking lot inside this Recreation area now. So our choices were to either hike from…
Ketring Park
We just needed some place quiet and nice to hang out this weekend and this park was perfect. It is located in Littleton so close to us. It has a lake near by and a lovely park with picnic benches under trees. It was cool place to have our lunch. There is also Littleton museum…
