The trees are changing color here in Denver, but up in the mountains they are now past their peak. I had hoped to get up to Rocky Mountain National Park this fall, but never did. I remember years ago my sister Susan, her late husband George, and I would go hiking up there every Autumn. I am pretty sure that I took the photograph above of Susan and George when we were hiking the Glacier Gorge Trail, which starts just before you reach Bear Lake, one of the most popular spots in the park. But as you can see from the photo, the Glacier Gorge Trail is a pretty damned impressive place to hike, too. And by the way, in the photo George is wearing his News Cafe T-shirt, which Susan bought for him when she, our mother Mary, and I drove from Stuart, Florida down to South Beach on one of our visits there. I also bought a News Cafe T-shirt for myself, but after Susan moved in with me after she sold her townhouse in Fort Collins and saw it, she quickly appropriated it for herself. But I am not bitter, because after closing during the pandemic, the News Cafe, a Miami Beach institution, has once again reopened, and so I can pick up another one when we head back there one of these days. Hopefully with Susan paying for it. In any case, I definitely intend to hike the Glacier Gorge Trail next year, without fail. You should too.
