Hot days of summer are upon us and this is certainly the most glorious time to be in the mountains! The other day I was able to take a hike up to Arapahoe pass and enjoy all of the wildflowers along the way. Indian Paint Brush, Columbines, Prairie Primrose and countless more adorned the hike up to the Continental Divide. Melting glacial waters filled countless waterfalls and the shallow lake below the pass provided the perfect place to rest, sunbathe and soak our tired feet. Bringing us into the heart of Indian Peaks Wilderness, this hike was full of epic vistas and scenes proud to show Colorado at its finest.
The gardens at the Casa are in full bloom and the edibles in the greenhouse grace every meal making them all exponentially delicious! There is so much to appreciate in the bounty one can produce at 9,000 feet elevation. Strawberries from the garden are so sweet and tender and you'll swear it's the mountain air that makes them so good! Summer is certainly short up here, but the intensity with which the Poppies bloom, the Aspens shake and the Rosehips swell is unbelievable!
If you're looking for a last minute summer getaway, you won't be sorry you found yourself at the Casa! Every stay here is so special and settling in to relax especially divine in the cool mountain breeze. There is so much to see and do in these summer months, so don't let them pass you by! We're making every stay special and we hope to see you here.
We can't wait to share the best in Colorado living with you. We'll see you at the Casa!
