Last night we hiked Arthur's Rock Trail in Lory State Park. It's just over a mile but the trail gains about 1000ft elevation in that mile. Although short, it is a moderate hike because it's steep. Towards the top, there is a beautiful view of Horsetooth Reservoir.
It was a nice cool evening and the fall colors were really pretty. Winter seems to be just around the corner. We didn't quite make it to the top, Aaron was starting to get tired and the temperature was dropping. As we hiked down the sun was setting and we saw some deer grazing.
Once again Aaron has proved to be an awesome little hiker! He really seems to love hiking. It is wonderful to go out and do something all three of enjoy. He loved climbing on the rocks and jumping off logs. He pretended to be a dog for part of the hike. He even barked at strangers! Hopefully our next little one will like hiking too!
After our hike we had dinner at Mt. Everest Cafe. The food is really good. It was the perfect place to eat after being out in the cold. Pretty much a perfect evening in my book!
