A day in Grand Lake, CO
Our plan for this cross country trip was to avoid driving every day, so that we could enjoy a slightly less frenetic pace and get to see more, thus the two night stops in both Chicago and Grand Lake.
Woke early whilst Jeri and Beth slept and made a pot of coffee. No sign of moose or elk around the cabin, to my disappointment. For breakfast, Jeri cooked French toast for herself and Beth and scrambled eggs for me. Lovely.
After a lazy morning reading, we headed out to the East Inlet trailhead and did a short 2 ¼ mile out and back hike to Adams Falls and beyond. The falls were spectacular – a deep chasm of rushing water. We stopped upstream under a shady tree by the water and had our snacks. Later in the afternoon in town we had ice cream and wandered along the boardwalk again.
Dinner was penne alla bolognese, served on the table outside our cabin. A game of Jenga tired us out and we went to bed early.
