Anyway, we got the day started with an early morning hike to Adams Falls which was just a few miles from the lodge. An easy 2 mile round trip. Falls were nice, but not spectacular. We proceeded past them to a large meadow. We saw a moose out in the distance. Got some pictures. Then it charged us. Not really us, per se, but it charged right past us. Passed maybe 10 feet in front of us on the trail, as it high-tailed up the mountain. Wild (haha) stuff.
We then decided to hit the amazing lakes nearby in a 2 person kayak. Super fun. We got the boat around 10:40am and had an hour to explore. Made it from Grand Lake into Shadow Lake and back. Super calm waters and quite nice.
After a short nap, we headed for RMNP. As usual, it didn't disappoint. This park is amazing - so much so that I tend to get desensitized to the beauty quickly. Anyway, we did a couple of short hikes in the park, knowing we'd be back for the next couple of days for more adventures. A hail storm cut short our day in the park and we went back to the lodge for the happy hour drinks.
We decided to check out Grand Pizza for dinner, as Brian had a hankering. Tuesday night. Super, stupid busy. Got there at 7:15 and didn't have pizza until 8:30. We did get to watch a hummingbird swarm (see video links) while we waited.
Off to bed. What a long day.
