Arapaho Forest and Galbraith Mountain

Ok, so after the game we had nothing really planned. We originally thought about going into Denver and check it out but it was too hot for that (did I already say that?). We ended up heading to the mountains to cool off (that is a great benefit about living out there!). On our way driving through what was the Arapaho national forest, we came upon this sign along side some storage-type building. Folks, this sign was so random in the middle of nowhere on a highway in the forest!



What?? No Pancakes!!







We ended up at this place called Galbraith Mountain. Great hiking trails. We couldn't go on all of them because of time but this is a sample of one of the views. It was also nice because no one was really there. A nicely kept secret. Well, at least except for the two joggers we passed on the narrow, rocky trail.

Joggers?



Many of the large rock up there had resemblances to Pride Rock in the Lion King.
Here is Alec's best impression of Mufasa holding Simba. Just without the Simba...










A sign for a lot of mountain lion activity at the mountain...







...and Alec is scared. Gee, what a great impression.
