Remembering our concerts we had seen there: Peace Love and the 60's, 70's and 80's.

It has been a healthy year for us. We both got into cycling again did many 27 mile workouts to Cherry Creek State Park.

We got close to the start for the time Trial in Denver under wilting, scorching, unbelievable heat - but was great to be able to cheer on each rider and see them (and their bikes) up close. Good fun!

Rocky Mountain National Park

Straddling the beginning of the Colorado River at the summit of La Poudre Pass after hiking the Colorado River Trail through Shiper Park and the site of Lulu City
Straddling the beginning of the Colorado River at the summit of La Poudre Pass after hiking the Colorado River Trail through Shipler Park and the site of Lulu City. This was a 15 mile round trip hike! We were ready for the hot tub back at the condo.
The Colorado River starts mainly as runoff and becomes swamp area near the summit of La Poudre Pass. The Grand ditch catches snow melt from a large portion of the Never Summer Mountains and also feeds into the Colorado River at the summit.

Gorgeous claret cup blooms against the black canyon. We enjoyed our stop here on the way home from Utah. We met a fun Australian and enjoyed swapping stories – it is he that told us where to find this bloom and we set off just before sunset to find.
