Colorado: Sapphire Trail Hike - August 2

 
"Oh boy, Sunflower seeds, num, num, num, num! Thank you, Lidia"
 

The Sapphire Trail was Lidia and Sawyer's favorite hike to date. Why? Because of all the chipmunks and squirrels to feed. Food of choice, sunflower seeds. And, all the rocks to climb. It was a short hike and the vistas were gorgeous. We even saw wooden teepees, no doubt made from the Pine Beetle Kill Trees.

Since this was a short hike and right off the bike path in Dillon, we had plenty of energy for more activities during the day.

 
Total Miles Hiked: 1.12
Cliff 's bike ride: 19 miles 
My bike ride: 8.63 miles
Lidia's swim in the pool: 40 laps

Now that the rock climbing and feeding is done, it's time for the HIKING.

 
Hmmm, have the Indians been here?

 
Oh, No...it's just my beautiful and sweet Carolina Babes.
