Summer. It means we’re out camping. Our favorite spot is Golden Gate Canyon State Park. Just outside of Golden, it’s a real gem. We booked our site in March, allowing us to know we’d have a spot come June.
We really lucked out with the weather, it was perfect. Perhaps we can put the Armstrong curse (rain!) to rest.
We even took advantage of the talks put on by the naturalist. The first night, we learned about black bears. Prizes were awarded for correct answers, and we helped the boys score some granola bars.
The next day, the boys & I planted a letterbox, and attended the talk on pollinators. We went back that night to hear some stories, such as the Navajo story of the night sky creation.
On our last day, I convinced the family to hike up Mt Galbraith to hunt for a letterbox. The views it afforded made it worth while!
Enough words, here are some pics.
This is our favorite spot for family camping too – and some of our fave places to explore! I shared it in my blog too which makes me wonder if we are giving it “too” much press 🙂 … we may start having to book much earlier if we’re not careful! Thanks for sharing.
