I really like the Bridal Veil Falls hike, the Cub Lake Hike, and Lake Helene hike. I wanted to hike along the Ute Trail this year, but put it off too long and by the time we attempted it, Trail Ridge Road was closed and won't be reopening until late spring. Between RMNP and all the Boulder County trails, we actually haven't done to many repeat hikes.JaneGShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11094501834387622997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15714418.post-70159190454867602412011-10-31T18:11:24.183-06:002011-10-31T18:11:24.183-06:00I love Rocky Mountain NP and have been there many ...I love Rocky Mountain NP and have been there many times. I've hiked up Hallett's peak and Flattop mountain in your picture. Even did Long's peak when I was younger and in much better shape. Had a great hike up Twin Sisters peak with my brother on his birthday in July 2004. he uses a picture I took of him "balancing" on the summit with Long's Peak in the background as his profile pic on Facebook, Twitter, etc. My favorite hike there is Estes Cone.<br /><br />Which hikes did you do?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15714418.post-29317535326780702972011-10-24T11:46:41.722-06:002011-10-24T11:46:41.722-06:00I have Death at La Fenice by Donna Leon on my TBR ...I have Death at La Fenice by Donna Leon on my TBR shelf. I've never read anything by this author before (this copy was a pressie)but what I'm hoping to enjoy aboiut it when I finally get round to reading it is that it's set in Venice.<br /><br />I read Coming Home several years ago. I'm not a big fan of Rosamunde Pilcher, but I read and enjoyed this one because it's partly set in an area of Cornwall I used to live in. (They did a TV series of it too, and filmed it in several very familiar locations)<br /><br />The racism in Gone With the Wind is something that has always put me off attempting to read it.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03070070360087765540noreply@blogger.com
