Take A Hike

We went to a new park today, Golden Gate Canyon State Park. After entering the park we drove up a road with a 19%(!) grade to get to the trailhead we were looking for. It was a great trail and the scenery was gorgeous. The unfortunate part was that we should have turned around to head back about a half mile earlier than we did.






The boys were so worn out!



Ahhh, we finally made it back. Thankfully we had lots more water and some snacks waiting for us.

After we got back down the mountain and got ourselves some yummy Frontroom pizza in Lakewood, we decided to make a quick stop at another park that we like but don't get to often, Bear Creek Lake Park(seriously, could they make that name any longer?!).


Finally, we brought our tired and filthy boys home for baths and bed! What a great day!

What a great place to hike! Are you going to stay in one of their yurts some time? :)

I'm also very impressed that you all had the energy to go to a playground after your day of hiking--what an adventuresome family!! :)
