After waking up at 8 am (aka 10 am at home - I may actually avoid jet lag!), we decided we'd take today easy. Got some coffee, made an egg scramble, did some cleaning and quickly realized sitting still wasn't going to happen. I suggested horseback riding, and just like that, we had a plan!
Sombrero Ranches is located in the wonderful town of Estes Park, CO (also the location of The Shining's famously haunted Stanley Hotel). Two hours seemed like just enough time to occupy us. We threw on some pants, grabbed our backpacks and sped towards the Rockies.
Meet Chestnut --
She's speedy, sassy and knows what she wants when she wants it. Long story short: we got along swimmingly.
The terrain was fairly challenging, the silence was golden, and the views from the mountain overlooking Estes Park were beautiful even in the haze. Rain was avoided and I regained my love for horseback riding.
Tomorrow might need to be a chill day after all.
