We finished Saturday at Red Rocks Park outside Denver, where we discovered just how much the girls, especially Alicia, liked to climb rocks. |
On Saturday, we drove to Rocky Mountain National Park and hiked to the top of Alberta Falls.
|
Finally on Friday, we hiked up Lookout Mountain in Golden, enjoying a nice view of the Coors factory below.
|
We also did a tour of Coors Brewery in Golden, where we watched them package cans and got to sample some beer. |
On Friday at the Butterfly Pavilion and Insect Center, we walked in an enclosure surrounded by hundreds of butterflies in natural habitats. I shot this beautiful Zebra Longwing butterfly. The zoo also had a petting area where we held cockroaches and tarantulas. |
Our first leg spoked out of Denver, where we visited the Butterfly Zoo, Coors Brewery, the US Mint, Red Rocks State Park, and where I showed my family my project. We then went up to Rocky Mountain National Park, through Estes Park where I went in high school for a Fellowship of Christian Athletes Camp. That camp is when I fell in love with mountains and where my life changed for the better. |
