Last June, after closing up the jewelry business, Silas and I packed up the car and drove to Colorado, to stay in a cabin and hike. I’ve been sitting on the photos, editing slowly. Trying to get organized. And now as we get ready to leave the mountains I find myself sifting through them again.
Mt. Ida is my favorite hike in Rocky Mountain National Park. I’m sure there are other good ones, but this is the first mountain I climbed with Silas, way back on our very first trip together. So naturally we had to climb it again!
Just past treeline is the marmot castle. A cluster of rocks clinging onto the side of the mountain, where there is always at least one marmot hanging out. We saw more marmots than people on this trail.
