Some people like to spend their winter holiday in warm places, heading south. We like to head "up" and spend our holiday in the mountains, which is what we did for a few days after Christmas this year, hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park. This photo shows Stephanie and Chase enjoying the view across frozen Mills Lake.

First hike of 2018.

Today’s hike was short - a 45 minute late afternoon saunter since Stephanie is recovering from a cold - a 1.3 mile loop out of Blair.

Temps about 30, blue sky, no wind, and a packed snowy trail.
