June 7, 2012, Waterfall, Grand Lake and Flowers. Dave Thomas came calling at 6:45 this morning. After breakfast at the Commons, we hiked a short trail to a waterfall on the SMR property. The water glistening in the sunlight was beautiful. The fall is not great, about 25 feet or so, but it made the early rising and walk worth the effort. Other hikers reported seeing a moose. For our part, we were content with whitetail deer sightings and overlooking nearly a dozen beaver dams and ponds.
We drove to Grand Lake this afternoon and did some store hiking. After some homemade ice cream, we stolled and admired the beautiful flowers.
Tonight, we are back at Stillwater Campground at the Arapaho National Forest, between Grand Lake and Granby. We'll cross over Trail Ridge Road tomorrow and revisit Estes Park before beginning our meandering trip home.
