My wife and I took a little vacation over Christmas to see my brother and his wife is Estes Park, Colorado.  If you’ve never been, a visit to “The Gateway to the Rockies” is well worth the trip.

We stopped off in Fort Collins, Boulder, and Loveland just to get a feel for the areas.  None of them disappointed.

For many of our hikes, the temps were in the mid 30’s with wind gusts in the 70-80 mph range.  So yeah, it was pretty cold.  Glad we had those awesome hats to keep us warm.

Here is a nice sampling of our trip.
