Did a couple of days of hiking with my buddy last month. As a flatlander, I was so grateful for the chance to spend some time in the Rockies.

That looks awesome. I hope I can get there some day. I'd probably want to go in autumn but it looks gorgeous year-round.

It was great. I was only there for a like 72 hours, but we packed a lot of miles and elevation into that window.

I hope you can get there, too. It's easy to access -- right near Fort Collins -- and well worth the trip.

I bet autumn is amazing there. Mid-May was wonderful. The only word of caution, which I'm sure is obvious to people who spend a lot of time in alpine environments but not necessarily so to people from the East like me, is that the high peaks were still buried in feet of snow.
