Thanks to Kim and JB Welch for showing Holly and I a great time in Denver during our recent visit. Here are some photos from our hike near Grand Lake on the western side of the Rocky Mountain National Park. The weather was great and the hikes were long. Rented a condo in Grand Lake but unfortunately I didn’t think to take pictures of it. Nor Grand Lake itself! It’s a charming small village but we arrived the weekend before Memorial Day and things were a bit subdued. Also included is the interesting mural from the Denver International Airport that I’ve read so much about. I was very excited to see it in person.
