Lake Granby Camping

Our first camping of the summer was WONDERFUL! We camped with friends on Lake Granby (Arapaho Campground, Moraine Loop, Sites 41&42....Though next time we’ll target site 31!).  We had beautiful views of the mountains, a short walk to the beach, and private camp sites.  
We played on the stand up paddle board (Sam and Jacob were the ultimate paddling duo) and Darin’s blow-up boat for hours (had we remembered swimming suits, we would have jumped off the big rock into the “refreshing” lake:-)

The boys spent hours atop this mountain overlooking our campsites.  (Our tent can be seen on the left, the Araneta’s camper is in the middle).  They named it Windy Hill.  Lynnette and I hiked up for a beautiful view of the sunset.

Sunset selfie!

We also hiked around Monarch Lake.  The 4 mile hike provided beautiful vistas and endless wild raspberries! We were hoping to see the moose, which had been spotted the day before, but there’s nothing quiet about this crew—they were scared off long before our arrival🤪

It felt wonderful to escape to the mountains for adventure and relaxation...and it was so good to catch up with these dear friends!
