If you've never hiked a national park please do yourself a favor and make it a goal to experience one. There's beauty all around us if we have eyes to see it, I truly believe that. But, let me just say the songwriter of America the Beautiful wasn't fabricating the line "purple mountain majesties." The rocky mountains are stunning. And to top it off we had a dusting of snow on the trails so I was basically transported to Narnia and loving every second of it (besides almost slipping on the ice).
On our trip we did the Emerald Lake hike which leads to 3 gorgeous lakes along a 3.6 mile trail. The next day we booked a horseback ride, through the local YMCA camp, and got to explore a different side of the park. We even galloped! My inner kid was reliving my days of watching Little House on the Prairie (Laura Ingles wannabe, anyone?).
Exploring nature, being present, frozen pizza & wine, laughter and game nights, being still and undistracted.. this trip was good for my soul. XO
