http://mikehikes.blogspot.com/2010/09/marys-peak-oregon-hike-june-21-2010.html
Mike and Susan hike (mostly) in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado. Friday, September 3, 2010. Mary's Peak, Oregon Hike - June 21, 2010. Back in June we took a driving trip to Oregon for a family gathering in Portland. After the party we made our way down the coast and were tempted to put on our boots by the opportunity to hike to the highest point in Oregon's Coast Range - Mary's Peak, also noted as a Botanical Special Interest Area.

Mike's Hikes: Just Our Nature: hiking meets travel, photography and birdwatching
http://mikehikes.blogspot.com/2011/09/just-our-nature-hiking-meets-travel.html
Mike and Susan hike (mostly) in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado. Sunday, September 11, 2011. Just Our Nature: hiking meets travel, photography and birdwatching. We have done fewer "big" hikes in 2011. As our interest in birding grows, we find ourselves dawdling more and seeing the trails differently than when our goal was to complete a loop, reach a waterfall, or bag a peak. This slower pace has not only let us see more birds, but we have also had closer encounters with animals.

Mike's Hikes: April 2010
http://mikehikes.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Mike and Susan hike (mostly) in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado. Friday, April 30, 2010. Ouzel Falls - April 27, 2010. Tuesday was so sunny, warm and calm, we just had to get out and enjoy the day. We haven't hiked much in the Wild Basin area just north of Allenspark, so decided to head up to Ouzel Falls. As novice birders, we now know it could have been named American Dipper Falls, but I'm glad they went with the more exotic sounding "Ouzel.". Gosh, how could it be almost 4 o'clock already! We di...

Mike and Susan hike (mostly) in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado. Friday, August 20, 2010. Une Belle Randonnée dans la Gorge de Tyndall. Earlier this week we had the opportunity to meet two very friendly women from Paris and Provence. Language was no barrier to the smiles and laughter, which came easily to Rosie and Monique, who were happy to be visiting Colorado and hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park. A word we heard many times from the non-English speaking Monique.). We hope to visit France b...

Mike's Hikes: Deer Mountain June 6, 2010
http://mikehikes.blogspot.com/2010/06/deer-mountain-june-6-2010.html
Mike and Susan hike (mostly) in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado. Sunday, June 6, 2010. Deer Mountain June 6, 2010. Deer Mountain will always be special to me and Mike, and we try to hike it every year. It is the first hike we ever did together, and because of that, it is the place we chose to be married June 5, 2005. Here are some pictures. Today began as an unusually hot hike for early June, a good reminder of why it is good to start a 6.75 mile summer hike before 11:30AM! June 8, 2010 at 4:11 PM.

Mike's Hikes: Mohawk Lakes - August 23, 2010
http://mikehikes.blogspot.com/2010/08/mohawk-lakes-august-23-2010.html
Mike and Susan hike (mostly) in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado. Sunday, August 29, 2010. Mohawk Lakes - August 23, 2010. We decided to stay two nights in Breck so we wouldn't have to do any driving the day we hiked and could take our time on a scenic route. On Sunday, clear skies prevailed all across Trail Ridge Road and the construction delays were minimal. The newly paved road is wonderful, by the way. (Just stay away from the asphalt strippers when driving top down in a convertible! Ruins of m...
