HIKING: Rainbow Lakes

Over the 4th of July weekend, I packed up the dogs and headed to the rents house for a fun filled day of hiking. Mom made her usual AWESOME picnic lunch and we headed up the mountain. Of course, the first 30 minutes of the trip Tucker was anxiously waiting in the back of the truck whining ever so quietly. JUST enough to drive Momma nuts (finally he calmed down).


Finally we pulled into the town of Frisco, Colorado. Apparently there was an Arts Festival going on that weekend so it was quite busy! We all geared up and headed up towards Rainbow lake. The rents specifically picked this route so the kids could play in the water…too bad my kids ‘no much care for’ the water. *sigh* It’s the thought that counts…right?

When we got to the lake there were a lot of people there watching their dogs play in the water, it was great! I got the chance to grab a couple of videos of the pups playing in the water…




But the best part was this yellow lab…the owner threw this log out as a joke, but she went and got it! Show off!!


This hike was absolutely beautiful! Wild flowers everywhere and a nice trail along the river. Here are some pics that I took along the way. Unfortunately, I forgot my camera that day so all of these were taken with my iPhone.







I highly recommend it and will definitely do this hike again.

Mantra Monday: Hiking!

~ Hiking ~



As I have written before, I love to hike all around the state of Colorado. I have posted a few blurbs about hiking this year, but I am going to make it my Mantra for this week (or the rest of the summer) to schedule out, write and review hikes for the rest of the summer. And maybe even purchase a new trail book too! I know, I know…I’m getting ahead of myself since I haven’t had much time to blog lately but this is my passion and I have to get back to it, right?!?!

I live in such a beautiful state and I adore wildflowers…so I need to get out and play more! Keep your eyes open for my posting on Rainbow Lake up in Frisco!

What is your Mantra for the week? Join the Mantra Monday’s blog trend…CLICK HERE for more information.

Make it a great week.
