Though this day was cloudy and drizzly, it was still another beautiful one spent hiking around a cool area called Rock Creek. This was a very easy 1.5 mile looping hike that followed a path around a lake.
The lake had several creeks running in and out of it and much of the land was marshy, so the neatest part of this hike was crossing the many bridges. Some were intentionally placed planks and some were rickety lined-up logs. Each crossing was an adventure!
The best part of this hike was all the wildflowers! We kept bumping into a local couple who told us this is the very best time to visit Rock Creek because the flowers are at their best. The girls were challenged to find every color of the rainbow and they very easily succeeded.
Majestic mountains, bubbling hot springs, clear blue lakes, impressive rock formations, cascading waterfalls, mountaintop snow fields, and meadows of wildflowers. We saw a little bit of everything on this vacation. And it was all marvelous.
