A pair of lady hikers with their pup on a beautiful summer day at the summit of Mount Flora. Summer hiking in the Colorado Rockies is wonderful with a friend and especially with a dog to accompany both of you.
Colorado Mines Peak above Berthoud Pass
Summer hiking to Mount Flora in the Front Range Mountains of Colorado affords enthusiasts fantastic views of the surrounding mountains. You rise above Colorado Mines Peak with its Electronic Site and radio towers to see Red Mountain and Jones Pass in the distance. This is a very popular trail because it allows the hikers such fantastic views.
Teig on the Continental Divide Trail
A nice day for a hike in the Vasquez Peak Wilderness. This section of the continental Divide Trail near Berthoud Pass is fantastic in July with snowfields still present and wildflowers blooming. Definitely worth the trip.
Alpine Trail to Stanley Mountain
A beautiful summer day above 11,000 feet in the Rocky Mountains outside of Winter Park. Sauntering through the alpine landscape is one of our favorite ways to decompress from a crazy work week. Teig is definitely the scout on the trail leading most of the way.

Hairpin Turns on Berthoud Pass
A cool aerial photo of hairpin turns near the saddle of Berthoud Pass. Berthoud Pass is a scenic mountain drive through the Rocky Mountains, and is located directly on U.S. Highway 40, just north of the junction with I-70. This photo was taken from my drone on a late spring evening when traffic was moderate.
Natural Container of Colorado Alpine Buttercups
Who needs a store bought container for your Colorado Alpine Buttercups? On the trail to Stanley Mountain I found this fantastic container of the flowers which nature provided. You just have to hike 4 miles to view them.
Alpine Buttercups and Vasquez Peak
There are a plethora of very cool Alpine Buttercups in the meadows of the high alpine Rockies of Colorado. Their yellow petals liven up the slopes of the mountains in the Vasquez Peak Wilderness. How can any person not smile while walking through a meadow buttercup flowers?
