This is…literally…a ten minute drive from our house, just off of I-80 at the Summit Rest Area.
It is also the highest point on I-80, with an elevation of 8,640…about 1,475 feet higher than Laramie, which is 7,165 Ft.
We forced the teenager to join us.
As usual...he didn't want to go.
But his mom did her mom thing.
We hiked for a mere 45 minutes, but it was invigorating and breathtakingly beautiful.
There was still a lot of snow in some spots and not much in others.
Both the Legal Dude and I forgot to check our camera batteries before heading out.
Bummer…could have taken more photos of beautiful vistas.
Laramie has a lot of places like this all around and all within a 10 to 20 minute drive...and no traffic to deal with.
Except for a few hikers (and joggers!)... probably Coloradoans taking in the sights before heading back home after the football game...we had the place to ourselves.
The temp was in the high 40’s but with the shinning sun, it felt more like an early, chilly spring afternoon.
I can deal.
Hope you all had a lovely weekend…
