Day One Hundred and Seventy: Colorado Trip, Day 3


Our first full day in Colorado! Morning saw us leave Breckenridge and head towards Mt. Evans (with a stop at Echo Lake) before heading back to Boulder and (eventually) our campsite.

As usual, click on any picture below to see the full-size image!

An be sure to check out Emily's pics from the trip, too!



These pictures were taken from one of my favorite spots in Colorado: the top of a large rock formation on the side of the road near Mt. Evans. I am always amazed by the number of pine trees on the mountainside:





Below Mt. Evans is Echo Lake, a popular spot for hiking, picnicking and fishing in the mountains:





More shots from our drive in the mountains:





Fun for the dogs in a scenic open space near Breckenridge:







Clear Creek, which flows alongside Hwy 6 out of the mountains and towards Golden, is a great venue for kayakers:





An amazing mountain sunset:





One last pic from Breckenridge:






Tomorrow: the Flatirons!
