Another hike on another beautiful day

I got up this morning to go hiking with our little group and the temperature was 30 degrees and foggy. I checked my email and yes, the trip was still on. By 9:30 when we left it was 55 and sunny! Ahhhh, Colorado.

We hiked up to the summit of Carpenter Peak and enjoyed seeing a big beautiful buck several times on the hike.

At the top we enjoyed a nice view of the "brown cloud" over Denver (an inversion layer had set in), and we also enjoyed a nice lunch.
