In honor of Independence Day we hiked the North Lone Pine Trail to the Mount Baldy Overlook. We hiked 5 miles roundtrip in a little over 3 hours.

Where we started

The trail passed through 20-foot fir trees and 2 foot pine trees in a part of Roosevelt National Forest that has recovered from forest fires and logging.

We crossed a creek three times on the way up.

Did I tell you i like to play in the water?

Colorado is sure full of beautiful wildflowers

Mom got me a drink of water and a treat!
