Sunday I was feeling a little restless and Mt. Evans is a destination I've been wanting to reach since arriving in Colorado. I knew the road to the top is closed until May, but I don't have that kind of patients. So I figured I would take a quick trip to see what the fuss was about to hold me over until May. Besides, it's Colorado... there are beautiful places to see around every curve in the road. And Echo Lake and the Arapaho National Forest in general were completely worth the trip.
I'm such a sucker for a breathtaking view. I can't tell you how often I cry when I see somewhere new, and more importantly, how often I feel my Gram looking down on me in those moments.
