Emerald Lake

Yesterday, my mom, Jackson and I went to Estes Park did a 4 mile hike. It was 105 degrees in Greeley so it felt so good to get out of the heat and get some fresh mountain air! Jackson loved hiking, but he did not like the car ride there or back. 

We started at the Bear Lake trail head and the first stop was Nymph Lake. It was beautiful with all the Lily Pads floating in the lake.

There was still a lot of snow patches which was fun, but pretty slippery.  Luckily no one fell in the snow! 

Our second stop was Dream Lake, It was beautiful as well, the water was so clear and we could even see some trout swimming in the water.

 Last stop was Emerald Lake, we stopped there and rested our backs and had a snack. My shoulders and neck are so sore from carrying Jackson the whole time!!  We didn't spen too much time there because dark clouds were rolling in and we started to hear the thunder. We got a little rain, but we hurried back to the car and made it just in time before it started pouring. 

We finished the day with fish tacos at the Grumpy Gringo on our way out of town.
