Spruce Mountain Trail

Last Monday (following the Fourth of July) Matt and I had off of work so we went on another hike. Uncle Jerry and Aunt Kathy told us about one that was north of Monument...Spruce Mountain Trail. It was a 5 1/2 mile hike. We loved it! It was less intense than the one that we did on the Fourth and had some beautiful views.

The clouds looked awesome toward the end our hike.

We rewarded ourselves with the some ice cream after our hike! Uncle J & Aunt K told us about this stop as well :)
