Ahhh, it’s good to be back home in the PNW! A wonderfully relaxed gorge weekend. We hiked on the Herman Creek Bridge Trail and even on a bit of the PCT💚. #columbiarivergorge #tabtrailer #nucamprv #tab320 #pnw

Our last lunch spot of this trip! After a month of scenic lunches in Colorado, we’re back home in Oregon! We couldn’t pass up the opportunity to fit in one more hike on the way home. We stopped in Bend and finally hiked the very popular Green Lakes Trail in the Three Sisters Wilderness. The relaxing wooded hike along a creek with small waterfalls and pools led to the Green Lakes where we got to see Broken Top and South Sister mountains right next to the lakes. Ahhh, it’s great to be home😊. #iloveoregon #threesisterswilderness #greenlakes

We wrapped up an awesome month in Colorado with one last hike in Rocky Mountain National Park. Sky Pond (10,900ft) turned out to be my favorite hike of the trip! These photos just can’t capture the grandeur of what surrounded us above tree line combined with an unreal calm and quiet in the air. The hike up gave us great views with three different lakes along the way. The most unique part of the hike was the 100ft scramble up the side of Timberline Falls, which was the outlet of Lake of Glass, just below Sky Pond.
Some light rain on the way down gave us a whole new feel to it all as we hiked down. An added bonus was the surprising amount elk that were just hanging out next to the trail just below tree line. It was a perfect finale to an already fantastic trip!

Julie did her first 14er! We did Grays Peak, which is the highest point on the Continental Divide at 14,278ft. I’d done this one six years ago on the CDT, and knew it would be a fun one...including mountain goats! We’ve been indulging in summer and sleeping in, but it was fun to get one alpine start in and see the early morning light on the mountain as we went up. It was a great day to summit and a nice “high point” to our month in Colorado with just a few days left. *Be sure to see the mountain goat and marmot videos in this slideshow!

We snagged one more overnight permit that opened up for the the picturesque Odessa Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park. We had overcast skies hiking in later in the afternoon, but dodged looming storms. It cleared up with just a bit of rain at the end.
The hike in from Bear Lake TH is fun with great scenery on the approach to Odessa Lake. We chose to hike out via Fern Lake TH, and even though it was a Monday, it was packed with people! This was the first time we felt like it was overcrowded at the park, which isn’t bad considering it’s been a few weeks. Odessa Lake was a good spot to close out our RMNP backpacking.

With temps near 100F, we took the opportunity to tube on the St Vrain River where we are staying in Lyons, CO. The GoPro came in handy in capturing the FUN of riding the river. A great way to spend a 🥵 day!
