Green Mountain Trail

Andrew's sister celebrated her birthday in Colorado by taking us all on a hike on the Green Mountain trail. Little did we know what surprises were in store for us that day.
The die hard hikers ready to go. Me & Mom, Elisha, Andrew & Amy.

Surprise # 1- Beautiful calypso orchids


Looking up at the sky.

A mountain waterfall.

Surprise # 2-A Gray Jay gets friendly with me.

Andrew found a striped chorus frog found in the marsh. After he and his sister took off their shoes in order to wade out and get a better look...

out came surprise # 3 in the form of a female moose...

...who did not look at all excited to see us humans invading her space.
