Most afternoons during our vacation Mama and Daddy went for a "dog free adventure." Imagine my surprise when one afternoon they decided we should go for an adventure together! Sunny was exhausted from our morning walk but I jumped at the chance to get out and explore.
We took a ride to Grand Lake, Colorado, a small town situated right outside Rocky Mountain National Park. Grand Lake was established in 1881 and originally furnished supplies to surrounding mining settlements.
Today though, with only approximately 500 permanent residents, Grand Lake depends on tourists like me
(or maybe Mama and Daddy since they hold the fleasa card).
We spent some time walking up and down their "Boardwalk" where lots of small shops are located. Mama really liked that there are no "chain" stores or restaurants allowed along the boardwalk.
After some shopping, we made our way over the the town's namesake, Grand Lake!
Grand lake is the largest, deepest natural lake in Colorado. It's also part of the beginnings of the Colorado River. Mostly though, it has beautiful views.
We all had a such a pawesome time, me exploring and Sunny getting a well deserved nap! Don't worry, Sunny enjoyed a nice pawrents and her walk when we got back to CeCe!
What a Grand place to visit. And the contrast between the blue skies and the puffy white clouds is magnificent.
ReplyDeleteNobby is relieved that Sunny got her little outing too.

ReplyDeleteps, maybe you should get a stroller for Sunny. I see a lady walking her two dogs with one dog riding in a stroller.
ReplyDeleteLucky you getting to be the chosen one to explore. It looks like a cute and beautiful place. We would love to walk around that lake. The weather looks perfect too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking us along on your walk through the town and to the lake. It looks like a fun place to visit.
ReplyDeleteIt's just beautiful and that sky is incredible!
ReplyDeleteNiece Rosy what a wonderful adventurer you are...always ready to go.
ReplyDeleteI loved the photo of you Dad and the Chief. It reminded me of one we used to see. Years ago there was a similar Indian Chief just as we walked into a Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream Store.
The BR was owned by a family named Silverman. The dad was quite entertaining with children.
Oh I've been watching the last 3 seasons of Longmire on Peacock. Each season had 10 episodes. I was so happy to finally find it. Tonight is the as episode of last season.
