I never imagined enjoying hiking so much, but it's amazing!! Today we hiked Red Mountain Trail...it's approximately 3.5 miles up. The boys don't "LOVE" hiking... but they might get there! Hey... it's a FREE beautiful activity!!

 |
| Umm... so this tree is leaning... just a bit... and NO it's not snapped in half. |
 |
| Taking it all in! |

| Mount Sopris in the background... |
 |
| Red Mountain Trail isn't a "red" as it sounds.... here we finally got high enough to spot some red rock. |
 |
| A cross at the top... if I remember the legend right: A man who searched for gold in the early 1900s lived in a cabin up at the top... after not being seen for a few days he was discovered in his cabin dead (starved). They buried him up there, under a tree that apparently was shaped similar to a cross. The weather eventually proved too much for the tree and it came down so they replaced it with this one... not the prettiest, but it lights up. I guess it only lights up during Christmas and Lent. |

| We came across stacked rocks several times... oh fun! |
