Father's Day

Morning over Lakewood

P6220055
Sunday, Tabetha and the girls took me to Glenwood Springs for Father's Day. The drive through Glenwood Canyon is always a treat.

We drove around the Springs for a bit and stopped at a park to let the girls stretch their legs and get out some restless energy

Then we headed to the walking district and found a cool little Cafe to have a early lunch that I guess you would call a brunch since we all had breakfast foods.

A short drive later and we were hiking up the mountain

to see Doc Holiday's Grave

seems this is just a marker in the graveyard. All the locals agree he is buried here, just where, is unknown

Back to Glenwood Canyon to hike Hanging Lake Trail

P6220056

We ended up stopping short of Hanging Lake. It was getting late and I think the ladies had enough adventure for one day. I hope all you fathers out there enjoyed your day as much I did.
