From Kelly:
Yesterday we went up to Estes to go on our annual fall hike! We were a bit concerned when we rolled into town to find ourselves in the middle of a rainstorm complete with lightening and all. But, we decided to try to wait it out by going downtown to do some shopping. We killed some time in the shops (I bought a cute little candleholder for Halloween). And then we got some ice cream. By then, the sun was out and it was 70 degrees again so we decided to head up.
The hike was 1.7 miles up to Gem Lake. Though there was a lot of elevation gain, it was a pretty good hike. We saw lots of gorgeous leaves, of course, and a some pretty cool rock formations as well. The lake was smaller than expected, but absolutely gorgeous and all in all it turned out to be a pretty awesome day!

Mark and I have done that hike before. My favorite funny thing was the outhouse with no roof on the way up to the lake!
