Day 4 - Seven Falls and the Royal Gorge

Friday, June 16, 2023

Colorado


We had rain through the night but thankfully it stopped by morning and we didn't have to pack up in the rain. We actually turned on the heat because it was in the low 40's and we were cold. By 9:22 we were on our way and 
we started by stopping at Seven Falls which is on the Broadmoore Hotel Grounds.  It was a beautiful and fun walk through the park seeing all the different water flows.










It was a gorgeous and soul refreshing walk.




such a pretty walk





the waters were higher due to all the rain
they were having


















After getting to the top of the main falls we 
took a trail to another falls called Midnight Falls








whew! dizzying heights for me as we go back down
while the boys just zipped up and down 🫣😄



bloom. where you are.


Bubble waffle treat - a fun and sweet ending




A sweet treat - a great ending!  Bubble waffles and ice cream. 😋




Ever intriguing scenery






It was very windy. We could feel the up and down
sway of the bridge as we walked across

They had a flag for every state.


BBQ sandwiches at the Gorge before travelling on

reading the map to see where we're at or what's around us.





Pressure build up was common as we went to 
open things.

Wolf Creek Pass over the Rockies
So Titus plays this song 😆













We came on this pull off beside this stream and took a
chance at this stop, to enjoy the rushing stream, take pictures
while some run off energy! 😄

Off he goes! 😁













Another scenic stop!
