New Year's Day hike

Since we were blessed with a beautiful, sunny 55 degree day on January 1st, we decided to hike at Red Rocks. It is a gorgeous area of Denver. (We'd take you there if you visited! Hint, hint.) I took a ton of photos because my sweet husband bought me a digital picture frame the other night. Why? Just because. Collective Aww. Thank you. I know. He's awesome.

This is looking down into the Amphitheatre built into the rocks. It is awesome. We ran the stairs. That was not so awesome. We intend to go to a concert in the summer because the venue cannot be beat!
This is the view of downtown Denver from to top of the Amphitheatre. Gorgeous.
My husband and perfect little dog. I look at this photo and wonder how I got so lucky!?
MacKenzie taking a break with me during our hike.
It was such a gorgeous hike. I love it! I call this one "A Man and his Dog." This is normally my view during hikes because MacKenzie has never ending energy and pulls Jackson along. (I cannot lead her during hikes because my knee is still too unsteady! BOO!)

This is MacKenzie sitting on a huge rock. She looks so peaceful. I love this little mountain dog.

Today is one of the days that makes us just love being in Colorado. Half-way through of hike we removed our jackets. In January! It was just too awesome. I love that all of this outdoor adventure is right in our backyard. We are truly blessed.

Happy New Year!
