In last week's Watery Wednesday post, I blogged a 1980 photo of Bear Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado. Being young and energetic back then, my husband and I continued our hike, venturing down the trail to Bierstadt Lake...
I recall the forest there was so quiet, the ground covered with a thick layer of pine needles, and it was free of underbrush, unlike the deciduous woods here in Iowa. From Bierstadt Lake we took a different trail and got a little lost, ending up tired and thirsty and a long ways from the Bear Lake parking area where our car was.

Fun to look at old photos! When you're young and on a lovely hike you don't always think about the return journey. You can bet that's something I always remember now!
I think I took that same hike a few years back. RMNP is such a breathtakingly beautiful place! I love your photo with the mountains in the background!
Looking at old photos can bring back so many fun memories. I like the mountains in the background of this one.
Sounds like a lovely spot...
Those are a LOT of trees!!!! Can you imagine all the wildlife living in there? I would love to see that in person!
It's so great to see places I will never get to see for myself. I'm glad you posted your photo from 'way back then'!
