Do you need a break? Join me on a spectacular hike to Gem Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado. The aspen trees are at their peak, and there is enough of a breeze so the leaves quake gently back and forth in the wind. It's not a long hike: about 1.7 miles one way. If we're quiet, we may see some wildlife.
The glorious aspens await you.
A view of Long's Peak, with Estes Park below it.The locals like to come up here and watch the
fireworks on the 4th of July over Estes.

Liquid gold
You can see why some people call this their church
Who saw who first?
The top of the mountain reveals Gem Lake
A beautiful spot for lunch
