Grizzly Creek Trailhead {Summer Bucket List}

Our impromptu road trip enabled us to see one of our favorite parts of the country- Colorado. Sometimes I wish we were an Army or Air Force family so we could call Colorado our home for a few years. It's definitely one of our top choices for our forever home when my husband retires from the Marine Corps. Planning for life post-military always seemed like a lifetime away and now is just around the corner. Every time we travel through Colorado I just fall in love even more.

We had a little extra time on our way back to California so we planned a hike. We really wanted to hike Hanging Lake Trail but by 10am the access road was closed. I've read the Hanging Lake trail is a big draw for hikers and they come early. Total bummer to have missed our window. I guess we will have to plan a little better the next time through. We decided to hike a nearby trail called Grizzly Creek Trailhead. Just a simple creek side hike uphill right off the interstate.













The pictures say it all. It's so beautiful there. I love all the green. And the flowers. And the water. The mountains. Ok. I love everything.

    I loved how you said "planning post-military life seems like a lifetime away."

    true story.

    I would love to visit Colorado!

    Looks like fun! We were in Colorado in May and it was still snowy. Would have been nice to see more green.
