I have mentioned before that our family loves to go on drives in our area. We also love to take pictures. This is a post that is picture heavy from a recent drive that we went on. We first headed to the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge. They have a beautiful visitor center with a lot of historical information about the place and how it came to pass. They have also just recently opened up a 9 mile loop that your family can drive. We were so excited that the loop was opened and we were able to take a drive around it. These are a few of the pictures that we took.

After we left the Wildlife Refuge, we headed back towards Lookout Mountain to get on the Lariat Loop. We took this picture of the town of Golden, CO and the Colorado School of Mines. This is were we moved to, so my husband could work at that University.

We some how another missed the Lariat Loop turn-off and ended up on the Squaw Pass Road. While we may have missed the turn-off, we sure didn’t miss the beautiful views of the mountains and wild life. I don’t think I will ever get tired of seeing God’s creation.

I love driving around and exploring where we live with our family. We always have so many wonderful adventures with one another!
