I hiked a large sand dune for the first time yesterday.As I head home from Idaho today, I am reflecting on the wonderful visit I had with my family members. While much of the time was spent visiting in their house, several of us also had fun outside adventures together, building new memories. The hike on this dune will remain a standout of the trip, enjoying a special geological feature. See how my head is down, focusing on footing on the ridge. #FootpathFriday #hiking #nature

I hiked a large sand dune for the first time yesterday.This interesting pattern of mini “landslides” of sand was prevalent along the ridge of the sand dune that I hiked earlier this week. This is a view from the ridge of the dune looking straight down the steep incline. “Streams” of sand would begin flowing down the slope once a hiker disturbed the sand while walking on the ridge. #TextureTuesday #nature #photography

I hiked a large sand dune for the first time yesterday.I hiked a large sand dune for the first time yesterday. What a unique experience! Quite a slog, hiking straight up the side to reach the ridge. A surprise with the challenge of walking the ridge— didn’t expect it to be so sharp. The drop-off on each side looked steeper/scarier than it actually was. A fun time! Bruneau Sand Dunes (Idaho)— 470 feet (143m) base-to-peak elevation change. #MountainMonday #hiking #nature

I’m spending a week visiting family here in the great state of Idaho.I’m spending a week visiting family here in the great state of Idaho. A long overdue visit— lots to catch up on! Several family members are avid hikers— spent part of today “urban hiking” with them on the Boise River Greenbelt. A very picturesque hike along the river which cuts through neighborhoods and the downtown area. A great way to see Boise! #hiking #nature #photography

Heading off tomorrow on my annual "pilgrimage" to the Colorado Rockies! -
Heading off tomorrow on my annual "pilgrimage" to the Colorado Rockies!This was my last decent view of the valley in Silverthorne today as I descended on the last hike of my trip to #Colorado. This was a very scenic hike as we hiked partway up a pass along a stream to a series of waterfalls. It’s been a great trip! I’ll post more pics of the trip once I return. 😀⛰️ #FootpathFriday #mountains #nature

Heading off tomorrow on my annual "pilgrimage" to the Colorado Rockies!Went to the top of a mountain the easy way today—- on horseback! Rode through beautiful forests of aspen and evergreen trees on the way up and back from the summit which was a large open meadow with views of distant mountains. A great day! #Colorado #mountains #horses

Heading off tomorrow on my annual "pilgrimage" to the Colorado Rockies!Here are some of the beautiful views that I had while hiking to the waterfalls today. Beginning of hike had full view of mountain ridge that I was hiking to, as well as the meadow that contained the stream that flowed from the falls. The falls were near the base of the ridge shown in upper left pic. #Colorado #mountains #hiking

Heading off tomorrow on my annual "pilgrimage" to the Colorado Rockies!In the spirit of #WaterfallWednesday, I hiked into the mountains outside Vail today to a series of cascading waterfalls! Here is one of the waterfalls (left pic). To take the pic, I needed to scramble down a steep class II/III rock formation (pic on right by Lori H.). A beautiful hike including views of an expansive meadow and mountain ridge. #Colorado #mountains #waterfall

Heading off tomorrow on my annual "pilgrimage" to the Colorado Rockies!Hiked up to a ridge outside of Vail today. The meadows (top left) at lower elevations were just as picturesque as the views from the top (top right). With rain clouds moving in and with the sounds of distant thunder, we hurried down the trail (bottom row). Only caught a few drops of rain this time! #Colorado #mountains #hiking

Heading off tomorrow on my annual "pilgrimage" to the Colorado Rockies!With the wedding activities behind us, we’re on to Vail for several days of hiking and horseback riding. Took this pic at a roadside stop. As many times as I’ve been to Colorado, I remained amazed at the beauty wherever I look, even from the road. #Colorado #MountainMonday #nature

Heading off tomorrow on my annual "pilgrimage" to the Colorado Rockies!While walking the streets of Breckenridge today, the #mountains maintained a dominant presence. While planning my local hikes for the next few days, I’m also looking toward returning here this winter for #snowshoeing. Summiting to 13,000’ (4,000m) on snowshoes from the trailhead not practical for me after flying in from sea level. But there’s an interesting option of taking the ski lifts up to near one of the peaks (Peak 8), then snowshoeing up the final 800’ of elevation. #Colorado #hiking

Heading off tomorrow on my annual "pilgrimage" to the Colorado Rockies!Stayed in Denver today. Took a picturesque walk around this community lake— can view downtown Denver on one part of the lake and the mountains on another part of the lake! A nice walk— lots of people there enjoying the outside. #Colorado #nature #hiking

Heading off tomorrow on my annual "pilgrimage" to the Colorado Rockies!Hiked a beautiful trail today just outside Denver at the Red Rocks Park. Stunning rock formations throughout the loop. No bad views here! Checked out the amphitheater as well that is surrounded on three sides by tall rock formations. What an amazing venue to have a concert! #Colorado #nature #hiking

Heading off tomorrow on my annual "pilgrimage" to the Colorado Rockies!It was absolutely bone dry on yesterday’s hike and with an intense sun. Felt like hiking in the desert. That didn’t seem to stop these beautiful flowering plants from growing — the open fields and trail were sprinkled with the yellow plants adding beautiful accents to the landscape! #Colorado #mountains #BloomScrolling

Heading off tomorrow on my annual "pilgrimage" to the Colorado Rockies!Another day, another hike! Chose a lower altitude hike today while we still acclimate to the altitude. Hiked in the foothills of Rocky Mountain National Park up a canyon. The waterfall we hiked to was all dried up! Should have brought some of the water from the White Mountains! 🤣 #Colorado #hiking #nature
