August 16 - Colorado's Enchanted Circle

OK - here's another post from our August vacation.  We spent some time in Trinidad, CO and then headed west on a mountain loop that was recommended to us.  It was so beautiful, despite the cold rain that fell part of the time.  The first stop was Lake Trinidad to let the dogs stretch their legs and get some swimming in.  They LOVED it!

Trinidad Lake, just west of Trinidad, CO

Hmmm.... ominous clouds on our drive - glad we keep the 

top on the Jeep.

Another lake we found on the drive.  Terrific setting, Hannah

& Maggie LOVE to swim

Bear track on the trail by the lake - it was about as

big as my hand

Where we stopped to eat - I'll have to find the name 

of the town.
