For the last six years, we've lived a solid 2 hour drive from the mountains. We just got a place that backs up against conservation land, however. A whopping 312 ft in elevation (highest point in the county...for reals), has us at least feeling like we're living the mountain lifestyle, once again.
On Tessa's morning hikes to school, we stop to investigate mushrooms, consider why poison ivy only grows on one side of the trail, and wonder if anyone else boulders on our secret little 20' granite "domes."

I passed it on to my daughter, she does a little rock climbing but mostly camping, hiking and she shreds on tele skis!
Nice views outside of Leadville

Sunrise from the Mountains
Anna Katherine Green
Hung thick with jets of burning gold, the sky
Crowns with its glorious dome the sleeping earth,
Illuminating hill and vale. O'erhead,
The nebulous splendor of the milky way
Stretches afar; while, crowding up the heavens,
The planets worship 'fore the thrones of God,
Casting their crowns of gold beneath His feet.
It is a scene refulgent! and the very stars
Tremble above, as though the voice divine
Reverberated through the dread expanse.
But soft! a change!
A timid creeping up of gray in east--
A loss of stars on the horizon's verge--
Gray fades to pearl and spreads up zenithward,
The while a wind runs low from hill to hill,
As if to stir the birds awake, rouse up
The nodding trees, and draw off silence like
A garment from the drowsy earth. The heavens
Are full of points of light that go and come
And go, and leave a tender ashy sky.
The pearl has pushed its way to north and south,
Save where a line spun 'tween two peaks at east,
Gleams like a cobweb silvered by the sun.
It grows--a gilded cable binding hill
To hill! it widens to a dazzling belt
Half circling earth, then stretches up on high--
A golden cloth laid down 'fore kingly feet.
Thus spreads the light upon the heavens above,
While earth hails each advancing step, and lifts
Clear into view her rich empurpled hills,
To keep at even beauty with the sky.
The neutral tints are deeply saffroned now;
In streaks, auroral beams of colored light
Shoot up and play about the long straight clouds
And flood the earth in seas of crimson. Ah,
A thrill of light in serpentine, quick waves,
A stooping of the eager clouds, and lo,
Majestic, lordly, blinding bright, the sun
Spans the horizon with its rim of fire!

My Dad, who recently turned 88, has enjoyed the mountains all his life. We did a few hikes together last week.
The road to Brainard Lake was still closed, so we turned that into one hike.
He's a geologist, and everywhere we go he sees new mysteries. Along the Morrison Slide trail:
