  • We visited Rocky Mountain National Park in mid-June 2022 to "hike, eat and sight-see." Join us in this episode as we hit the trail for the most popular day hike in RMNP with short stops at Alberta Falls, Loch Vale, Timberline Falls and Lake Of Glass along the way. Plus, we had the most amazing time in the snow which we can't wait to share with you. As always, stick around for our usual JUST FOR FUN bloopers and silliness at the end. Let's go!

      Thanks, Aaron. This was one of our favorite hikes. The mountains, the lakes, the snow, the sky--just amazing! We love RMNP too! It never gets old.

    One of my favorite videos you have done so far. I’m so happy Paula was not hurt on any of those falls.
    My Top 5 list:
    1. Alberta Falls-I could sit and watch those falls for hours!
    2. All of the spectacular views!
    3. Paula and her rock climbing skills!
    4. Mississippi group singing Happy birthday to Paula!
    5. Sliding down snow mountain. That look like so much fun!

      Thanks, Teresa. We think it may be our favorite video so far as well. It was such a great day--the weather, the people we met, the views, and, of course, the slide down the mountain. Thanks for your Top 5 and for following our journey.

      Thanks! It was so fun to see fellow Southerners out on the trails in Banff! We did hike on up to Devil's Thumb, and it was gorgeous. Sky Pond is one of our all-time favorite hikes. Did you get to slide down the snow chute? It was so much fun. Enjoy the rest of your trip!

      Oh my goodness! This hike was so much fun! We have laughed so much watching the video of the slide down. We have been to the Rockies many times, but have never done anything like that before. Thanks for watching and for encouraging us..

    Love being invited to your adventures! We recently relocated from WA to Northern Colorado and your hiking videos are so helpful to understand what to expect and just motivational! Do you have a link to your hiking backpacks? Could use a new one and it looks really versatile. Thanks again!

      We had so much fun, and every time we watch the video of us sliding down (and falling), we laugh and laugh. So glad you are following our journey. We still think you and Mike should join us on one of these adventures!

    Awesome! What a beautiful way to celebrate Paula’s birthday. I’ve wanted to do the Sky Pond hike for awhile. Definitely on my list of must do’s. The glissading down looks like an absolute blast! Thank you for sharing! Can’t wait for the next video. God bless you both!

    • @MissionAmerica
      @MissionAmerica  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks, Michelle! It was a great way to celebrate. We did Sky Pond a few years ago with Jacob, but there was very little snow then. Glissading-- we didn't even know that's what we are doing until two days ago. That's a new word for us. But it was definitely fun! Thanks for being such an encouragement to us.
