She told me to take
a hike
I thought I might like
a trip up to Mills lake
elevation 9,957 ft.
on the Glacier gorge trail
an easy 5.6 mile round trip
from the trailhead
take in the view of
Longs Peak’ west side, Key Board of the Winds,
and Pagoda Mountain to the south.
And some beauty along the way
such as wildlife: elk, deer, marmots; meadows, lakes
streams, wildflowers, aspen trees
then go into Estes Park, sip some tea.
I told her, thanks 🙂
