Finally got to go see the Rockies in the summertime. We went to Breckenridge for a few days and Pikes Peak before returning for a 5 day conference in Denver at the Colorado Convention Center Downtown.



I will be adding several pics over the next several days

I am a looser though. I said I would mountain bike (really just riding downhill after riding the lift up), but ran out of time. Maybe next time.

It's more fun if you ride up, too. :)

That's right. Last year I did snow-biking, and it was real fun. My spouse was also with me.

Wildflower pics

















Base of Horseshoe Bowl- The pictures don't do the place justice, you are surrounded by thousands of wildflowers but the mountains are so majestic that you loose these tiny little flowers because of the scale of the place. Kneedeep does an excellent job with wildflower (really all) pictures.

















One of my favorite pics looking northeast, wildflowers in the forground and the Blue River Valley and continental divide in the background.



















Horseshoe Bowl in Summer









Baldy and Breckenridge in the valley









Fox located above the Rocky Mountain chair













Being "in" a lightning storm at 11,000ft with lightning around you and below you = not fun.

Shelter was provided in the Vista Haus.







next project, upload the pictures from Pikes Peak.................
