It took me 5 months to finally get around these photos, but they're finally here. My wife and I had the chance to go visit a dear friend of us in Denver. She had gone there to get her Master's in Urban Planning and we had been looking forward toward this trip. Our friends Yaniel and Ashleigh tagged along for the trip. On our first day, shortly after arriving from the airport, we headed over to Colorado Springs to visit the Garden of the Gods. Being from Florida, any sign of mountains and rock formations were alluring to the eye. We were able to explore this park most of the afternoon and even caught a glimpse of a few deer running around the place.

The next day we visited
Red Rocks Amphitheater just outside of Denver. Again, the views were majestic and the venue is now in my bucket list of places to visit again. I would like to come back and see a concert here. Perfect venue!
As you might have noticed, we did a lot of hiking and walking during this trip. We took a short trip to Boulder, CO to hiked the Flat Irons. This was a whole day event going up the mountain and stopping often to take on the scenery.

Last but not least, we traveled a couple of hours through Estes Park into the
Rocky Mountain National Park. This was a little bit of a harder hike. Higher altitude, snow still in the ground and a hungry stomach. We made it to the top of one of the trails where Yaniel had been wanting to proposed to Ashleigh. They are now engaged and I'm shooting their wedding. Win-win if you ask me :)
