On August 14 of this summer, Donny and Loretta and family made the trip to Colorado to play in the mountains for two weeks. The two married children came also, Brandon (Leanne) and Shannon (Kevin).  Brandon and Leannes' boy Chet (5 months) also came along.  All drove, except Kevin and Shannon who flew.  


We hiked and climbed in Rocky Mountain National Park, and stayed in Estes Park, renting a cabin.  Our journeys took us hiking in the middle of the night, to mountain peaks, mountain lakes, across tundra, along streams, through boulder fields, to waterfalls, and down glaciers.  

All in all, we hiked 90 miles, gaining 25,900 feet in elevation.   Here are a few photos from the trip.


Needing a rest?
