| Feeding into Diamond Lake |
Good Sunday in the high country. We went up to Fourth of July Trail near Nederland, CO and hiked up a little way past Diamond Lake. It's a lovely little moraine lake nested between the nearby peaks. The mosquitoes up there are about the size of small sparrows, so we didn't linger in one place for long. There were an amazing variety of alpine flowers in bloom, and the weather decided to give us a taste of home by sending in an afternoon thunderstorm. We made it back to the trailhead before it started really coming down. All in all, awesome day. Also discovered a great little pub in Nederland with range fed beef burgers and the best espresso stout I've ever had (although I forgot to ask the brewery). Still, can't really go wrong with espresso stout.
