This last weekend we took a small hike through Lost Creek Wilderness, the sun was out and the altitude started at 8,000 feet and climbed up to 12,400 feet.
I liked the 1776 sign since it reminded me of Independence and Freedom.
The hiking path was fairly flat with rolling hills and very dry. It is advised to always drink plenty of water and bring extra clothing just in case the weather changes drastically.
What I like most about Colorado hiking is that there can be remnants of snow on the ground and the weather is comfortably warm. It started to flurry while on this hike but still warm in temperature.
I’m not sure why I took so many photos of signage this time around. I guess I’m learning that some people like all the fine details in blogs and to see what we see as we are walking along.
The highlight of this hike was seeing this lovely mountain peak. The excitement lasted for a total of five minutes. Shrugs.
Since this was such a huge highlight I figured I’d share a long angle with the puffy clouds included. Who doesn’t love beautiful clouds?
There were tons of these alien looking flower seed pods all over the place. If I start to stare at you and make that horrible sound from the movie Invasion of The Body Snatchers just kill me quick.
No hike is complete without featuring a beautiful tree and I found this lovely Aspen motioning for me to come say hello.
I hugged and smiled with this lovely earth creature and we shared a little bit of our stories. Just look at this gem.
I was kind of disappointed I did not get to see the loveliness of the leaves on this tree I named Bess. Alas, there is always the springtime.
If you are ever visiting in this area of Colorado, and want a quick hike. This one is a good one. Peace.
