a crowded fall hike {personal}

Tim, Olivia and I made it to the mountains only a few times this summer/fall. One of these times was at the end of September when we tried to hike a trail near Brainard Lake. The weather was gorgeous, the aspens were at their peak, and unfortunately every body and their brother decided it was the perfect day for a hike too! We couldn’t find parking at the trail head, so we settled for a walk around the lake. We ventured into the surrounding forest a bit, just so that we could feel adventurous (my cowboy hat added to the adventurous spirit!) The scenery was worth the trip, and Liv had a blast learning how to skip stones on the lake with daddy.
