Notes:

Happy April 4th! Three years ago today I met Travis for the first time ❤️

We found some hiking trails near Rocky Mountain Arsenal, so we decided to do a quick hike followed by driving through the wildlife refuge. The trails are short and easy, so we added a few together to make a longer loop. We parked at Ladora Lake and followed the trail north east along the lake. The trail snakes around Ladora, then runs parallel to the road. We crossed the street to add on Woodland Trail, taking that to Prairie Trail to finish the loop. The trail is pretty wide, with no shade throughout. It was a great trail to do to follow social distancing guidelines!
