Every winter Trail Ridge Road closes due to heavy snow and strong winds at higher elevations. In late May, when Rocky Mountain National Park announced that the road was plowed and completely open, David and I made plans to drive it the following weekend.
I surprised Dave with a snowshoeing trip to Emerald Lake for his birthday.
When the 90-degree days were few and far between, we finally made the trip to the Great Sand Dunes.
Our first summer in Colorado was both truly amazing and extremely difficult.
David and I headed west to set up camp and have an unobstructed view of the meteor shower.
We explored a trail behind the NCAR building, a weather research center designed by the famous architect.
