Tabetha found a beautiful Inn in the quaint little town of Niwot, about 45 minutes away from Rocky Mtn Nat'l Park.
The room was complete with fireplace, steam shower and a romantic ambiance
Saturday morning we woke to dreary skies but nothing could cloud our love for eachother and we enjoyed the morning taking it easy, slowly making our way to Rocky Mtn Nat'l Park with a stop at a local farm for some Apple Cider Donuts.
As we made our way up the Mtn, beginning our journey in the Park at around 8500 ft, the skies opened up and we had a deep blue ocean hanging above our heads for the rest of the day.
Tabetha taking it easy at the Visitor Center
Our tour took us up Old Fall River Road where one of our 1st stops was to look at Chasm Falls
Look close and you'll see there is a bit of snow near the top of that mountain that never melted off from our last winter
Tabetha and me at a random pretty spot in the woods
Getting near tree line
The secret Cabin..not on any maps but easily found if your willing to take a step off the beaten path
Another shot of my beautiful wife
Above treeline, over 11,500 ft
and getting windy and cold when we reach Trail Ridge Road
What may look like a volcanic cloud hanging over the center of the mountains here is actually a fire that shut down Trail Ridge Road not long after we got off of it. Late Summer has brought little rain and hot temperatures for Colorado and that means a very high fire danger.
