Two Mountain Mamas, a Dad and a Dog

There is nothing like breathing in that fresh mountain air while on a 7 mile hike in Estes Park (Lion Gulch Trail), part of the Rocky Mountain National Park system. The elevation gain was about 1700 ft., which is not that bad, though, I will admit, we did have some heavy breathing while we climbed up a bit from the three of us and dog Gunner - a German Shorthaired Pointer. 

But, for me, I was thrilled that I finally quieted the Mountain "gods" that have been screaming my name for the past few months to come and play in the mountain ranges. The bonus: a chance to hike and climb and heal my hurt heart surrounded by beautiful mountain wildflowers, tall pine trees and big meadows once we reached a certain area on the out and back hike/trail.

BSoleille! The bright side of Colorado mountain air!
