Russian sage (perennial) grow beautifully in Estes Park. No need to water, although watering does boost their lush growth and intensifies their lavender-blue flower. The plants in this photo are about two years old. Each year they will come back larger and fuller.

Here I show russian sage plants that are about 10 years old. In a few more weeks this plant will fully blossom with lavender coloroed flowers.

Footpaths of The World

Donna and Larry came to us via Footpaths of The World.  Footpaths arranges hiking trecks through the Rocky Mountains. The brave hikers hike from bed and breakfast to bed and breakfast...with only the supplies they have on their backs.  We stongly suggest coming a day early to acclimate to the high altitude hiking, hiking on your first morning in Estes can be tough. Take a full day to brouse the fun shops, and nourish your body with estes's fine foods.

Historic Tour on Horse and Wagon

I took a horse and wagoon ride through historic Estes Park. This little guy rides along with the owner, Don.

The wagon is pulled by two Clydesdale horses, Nick and Bud. This is the view from up high as we head down Elk Horn Avenue in Estes Park, Colorado.

The tour is complete with a historic lesson as you ride through down town. Being surrounded by the Colorado Rocky Mountains and riding high on the wagon seat, my imagination saw the people of yesteryear strolling the sidewalks. I felt as if I was a person in a Currier and Ives lithograph. This is worth adding to your to-do list when planning your trip to Estes Park. I have a link on the home page for Tendergrass Carriage. They are a top notch operation!
