A lone marmot enjoying the sunny day on a granite rock. He was not too concerned with Teig and I hiking on the trail to Arapaho Glaciers in the Colorado Rockies.
Storm is Coming in the Medicine Bows
Teig and I were coming down from a saunter in the backcountry of the Medicine Bow National Forest in Southern Wyoming and stopped off at South Gap Lake for a snack. The ominous storm clouds which were brewing since lunch finally engulfed us. We tried to expedite our hike back to the trailhead but were unsuccessful and the rain and hail pelted us the last mile and a half. Even though we were soaked, it was a fantastic adventure well worth the effort.
Lake Marie
Lake Marie sits at the base of Medicine Bow peak in southern Wyoming. Sun was setting on the southern edge of the peak and the winds were kicking up advancing the waves on this beautiful lake. The contrast of the warm sun and the chilly shade was welcomed after a hike to the summit of the peak.
Mount Guyot in August
A look back to Mount Guyot on a hike to Whale Peak in the Front Range Mountains of Colorado. Guyot is one of my favorite peaks and his very distinguishable from its east and south faces. Definitely a Colorado Rockies Icon. This photo was taken on an Iphone 7 I had on me for that hike.
Shroom next to Granite Boulder
A cool looking mushroom near the Vasquez Creek trail outside of Winter Park Colorado. I believe this is the species Laccaria laccata.
