Hiking in the Garden of the Gods
Today was an absolutely gorgeous day! We took Emily and Copper (the 2 year old golden retriever) back up to Garden of the Gods for a day hike.
Garden of the Gods is an absolute “must-see” if you ever get out this way, which of course, we hope you do. It is like nothing you’ve ever seen before.
The views are absolutely breathtaking and with every turn, there’s something new to see.
The last time we were there, (last week) we picked up a trail map at the visitor’s center and are making it a goal that each time we go, we’ll be hiking a different trail.
Downtown Colorado Springs
It’s the weekend! Today started off with my Saturday morning teleclass for my Dream Big coaching students, which lasted about 2 hours. It’s interesting now that we’re on mountain time. I have to be the one getting up earlier since the east coast is 2 hours ahead.
We were done by 10 a.m, so Doug, Emily and I were going to go to America the Beautiful park near downtown Colorado Springs. We had a map, we googled it and you would have thought it would have been easy to find.
Somehow we missed it, so we parked the car and walked around downtown Colorado Springs instead.
Breckenridge Family Skiing
Ah! Breckenridge has snow and now is the time to start dusting off the skis from last year and get ready.
Breckenridge opens November 7th, just a little over a month from now. I know we’ll be going up at some point, and I doubt if we’re going to get season passes for this year, although definitely next year.
We were in REI last week, and ColoradoPass.com was there selling season passes. Before we buy passes, though, we’ll be starting our Colorado adventure.
Today marks two weeks that we’ve been here, so let’s go back in time just a bit.
The Second Day of the Drive
This is the view from the overlook in Colorado Springs. After yesterday’s long, long day, the 5 hours left to get to Colorado Springs didn’t seem like it would take that long.
As you cross the border from Nebraska into Colorado, you think, “O.K. Cool, not too much longer, right?”
Wrong.
When you’re following a UHaul carrying an auto-transport, it’s not like you can do 80 MPH on the highway.
