Good afternoon from Colorado! What a wonderful week. We packed it full of epic hikes, tons of wildlife sightings, and good times spent with friends.

It was also raining and the outdoors was not the most inviting, so we decided to have a tasty lunch at our campground and then take a solid nap in our vehicles.
