We spent some time in Grand Lake over the summer and enjoyed the heck out of the area. So many places to explore! John did some construction work and I set out to see as many trails as I could cover. It was a solid choice as a UTMB training ground.
We even got to visit with Leslie and Noel, an excellent bonus. Leslie and I, plus her dog Beckett, went on a run up to Crater Lake. This was the only outing where I took many pictures. We moved more quickly than in my normal training runs, so I probably wanted an excuse for a brief rest now and then... I'll be right there, Leslie!
I really enjoy running along a fast-moving creek. Very different from my Arizona experiences.
Lovely waterfalls:

Just beyond, at Crater Lake and the end of the trail:

Running back to the trailhead - many thanks for an excellent workout and great company, Leslie!
My only other photos from the area, when I climbed the North Inlet trail to Nokoni and Nanita Lakes:
Almost made it through a blog post without a picture of me:
And to close this out, something different...Two electric trucks at a Colorado charging station! Our Rivian looks a bit small next to the Ford Lightning:
Thank you for a fun summer, Colorado!
