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!
