colourful colorado






 How gorgeous are these colours? I finally managed to convince the husband to try camping (proper camping, in the mountains!) when we were in Colorado and we had such an amazing time!

We drove up in a borrowed truck and spent the day canoeing around a peaceful lake with a cooler full of beer, chatting and catching up with some very dear friends. That night we cooked dinner by campfire and watched in awe as the Colorado skies lit up at sunset.

The display didn't finish when the sun went down, as darkness fell we were transfixed by a lightening storm that took place within those huge clouds. The moon was almost full and rose through the darkness - an incredible night.

We spent the rest of our trip hiking, mountain biking and generally enjoying the beauty of being outside in Colorado. It was a great start to our US adventure.

Some more pictures after the jump!

Not where we were supposed to be...but still at the top!

Resting before tackling the downhill.
