Week 3: Fern Lake (late)

Fern Lake Camp Site, RMNP

It's been almost a month since we have been in RMNP and so far Chris and I have done 5 hikes. I have posted two of them earlier. Now here is another.

Sometimes people ask us why we like camping/hiking. Hiking for us is many things. It's an adventure. It's away from crowds. It's a challenge. It's rewarding. But most of all, we are usually just amazed by how beautiful our Creator has made nature to be.

Here are some photos from an overnight hike we did a few weeks ago with our pastor's family and some friends. We hiked a little, ate a lot and learned to filter spring water. It was awesome.

Look at those vasculcar plants growing off the trees!

We love our camelbacks! (Camelbacks are water pouches that you can fill and stick right into your backpacks. They're much easier than using water bottles when hiking because the tubes and come right out of your backpack and stay next to your mouth. So... you don't have to stop to take a drink of water).

More hikes to come as I catch up on posting!
