Grand Lake - July 2010

We went on a short vacation to Grand Lake, CO in mid-July (it's on the other side of Rocky Mountain National Park from Estes). Grand Lake must be the most wonderful vacation spot in all of Colorado. We were within walking distance of everything in town, including the lake. Owen and Josh had fun fishing off the public dock every evening. They never caught anything, but Owen loved being out late at the lake. We took several little hikes in the national park, usually visiting streams so Josh and Owen could fish a little and Wyatt could throw rocks.

Here's Owen with a brook trout. Josh caught it on his line, but Owen reeled it in.

We stayed right next to this historic house in town. It's still a private residence, so this is as close as we could get, but Owen thought the sign was pretty cool!

A view of the Never-Summer Range from the national park... we couldn't have asked for more beautiful weather while we were there!
