Description
When you hike in the Rocky Mountains, especially above the timberline, about 12,000 feet above sea level, you never know what nature will throw your way. On this day, we encountered lightening and thunder, a pretty frightening event at this altitude. We thought about turning back, but it seemed like the threat was minimal, so we trudged on. Suddenly, we were enveloped in a thick misty fog, a low cloud as the clouds moved in quickly! We were rain on, but just as quickly as we pulled out our rain gear, the sun came out. This cycle occurred throughout our hike, but toward the end we were treated to a beautiful sunset with a bright rainbow!
