I don’t know about you, but summer is our family travel time. With school-aged kids we’re kind of locked into the school year schedule. Last year, of course, we didn’t get to travel. A small price to pay in those circumstances, but we did miss it.
We were so excited to get to our favorite place this summer. Estes Park, CO! I’ve been going there almost every year since I was born, and now we take our children. We love the hiking and access to Rocky Mountain National Park, the downtown shops along the river walk, and the escape from Texas heat. See a few pics below…
I’ve set a lot of my books either directly in or around (the surrounding mountains) Estes Park including. Sometimes the entire book, sometimes certain scenes. Including books in my Svatura, Fire’s Edge, and Brimstone Inc. series.
See some inspirational pics below…
I hope you’re staying cool and reading lots of great books this summer!
My son and grandson live in Colorado, so naturally I’ve been there and seen the scenery. Was there when pregnant with my daughter. Even camped out big as a whale. But outside of the fact that half my family lives there, I’m just never going to understand the appeal of mountains and snow and cold. Give me Texas any old day. Grass is always greener, right? 🙂
