We went to Lime Mesa, 25 miles of jeep traveling to the trail head, 3 of which require a 4WD vehicle. Then a 8 mile round trip hike to heaven and back. We took Cede who had fun chasing chipmunks.
The hike started off actually with a light snow; this is August 2, but we are in the high country, anything is possible! There were looming dark clouds about, but they seemed harmless...
After it snowed, Rebecca had to reapply her lipstick.

She was almost in tears due to the breathtaking view. We had lunch and enjoyed the vista but moved out fairly quickly due to the approaching weather.
