Woah, baby!

Brian & I spent most of our vacation last week in beautiful Estes Park, Colo., where we had a posh cabin that featured the luxurious amenities of a private balcony hot tub overlooking Fall River, a big bathroom with a heated floor, kitchenette, grill and more.

We explored the cute downtown area and spent time hanging out at the cabin. But one of our first adventures was horseback riding in the mountains, an amazing experience.

I rode a four-year-old horse named Arrow, and Brian rode a 12-year-old horse named Reba. It was just us and the guide for three hours, and he let us run the horses quite a bit. Amazing.






The view the entire time was breathtaking:


We spotted elk and went off-trail to get a closer look. Notice the young spike-buck to the left and the two older bulls fighting with their antlers in the center:


And, by the time we left Sombrero Ranch, Brian had made two great friends:

Brian,
Those two fellas look a little rough. Careful who you hang with.
