It takes some time to adjust to the elevation! I wouldn't recommend anyone do any significant hiking if they've just arrived. Beautiful place, though.

Unreal experience.
Just no way to explain the beauty.

You all should have seen RMNP/Estes 30 years ago.

Don't fucking feed the wildlife

Grandparents lived in Estes until very recently. Many a good memory of going there. I very specifically remember using the binoculars with my grandpa to watch the deer/elk across the street from their house. My only complaint is my grandma used to make ginger ale and ice cream floats, which sounds good in theory but imo is hot garbage. She acted like it was such a treat I just drank it anyways.

I don't think I've ever seen a use of the word swum in the wild.

Sounds like the best trip of your dog's life as well!

the aerosols dispersed even in rural areas have increasingly clouded our view of nature

You and I have a different opinion on “great”
I’m a very fat dude from Nebraska. Lived here my whole life. I love Nebraska. But Nebraska is flat. We were in town for a wedding and it was a few hours between ceremony and reception. We decided to hike Gem Lake because it was a relatively short hike. Being from Nebraska total elevation gained isn’t something I’m used to paying attention to. Well folks. We spent a good hour huffing my obese corn fed rear up there and the view was amazing but damn if I wasn’t tired.

Man, reminds me of the one time I roadtripped to CO with my dog.
Stopped at Scratch for a nice looking London Broil sub only to stop for a photo moment (which is all CO) and forget about it for 5 minutes.
5 minutes.
My dog had the best sandwich of their life that day and we were too far away to replace it.
I ate a shitty gas station hotdog an hour later.
Still, best trip of my life l, Colorado is something else.

It’s stunningly beautiful but I hope it was taken during spring or summer. That ice looks like it’s melting

Looks a lot like (Mount Satori?) in BOTW. One of those mountains around there has a spring like this too.

Estes is one of my favorite places on earth. Got out there again last year and though it's changed over the years it's still really magical for me. Love the rockies around there so much.

Just like Mt Kilimanjaro, akin to saying Mt Mountain Njaro!
