It seems like this super-cool hike has now become a yearly tradition.
St. Mary's Glacier is just past Idaho Springs, CO ~ about an hour away. Its a quick hike- less than a mile, and has lots of big rocks to climb over.
The best part is the payoff at the end ~ the glacier, the lake, and the surrounding mountains are absolutely gorgeous. ♥
Here's a picture of Brandon teaching the girls how to skip rocks:
While we were there, the storm clouds started rolling in...
....but that didn't stop us. ;)
We made it to the glacier, took a couple pictures, ate lunch...
... and then made it back down before the rain and the hail came.
See ya next year, glacier.
Nothing like skipping rocks is a great skill set! The place is beautiful. The top pic of the two girls soaring off the rocks is a gem.
