Who: Michelle, Sammy and myself
Length: 5 miles
Time: 3 hours
Weather: 65-70 degrees, clear
We could have worn shorts today, it was so nice out. The weather was sunny with no wind–a great day for a hike. I took Michelle up the Seven Bridges trail to Jones Park. We stopped for lunch there, and took the same route back.
We had no snow on our trail, but it looks like there is still some snow up at about 11,000′ and higher. The trees and bushes are budding, but still no leaves on the Aspens. As the weather is getting nicer, we are seeing many more people out on the trail.
This hike followed the RED line to the BLUE Jones Park marker:

Looked like a beee-yute-aful day! 7 Bridges…7 Falls…they are different, right? I remember Erin and I went to 7 Falls once…but that requires a paid admission, I think.
Hey Chance,
They are different. 7 Bridges is a trail in the Pike National Forest (public land). 7 Falls is privately-owned tourist attraction. Both are pretty!
