Hiking with a Lensball

      A few years back I was gifted a lensball.  I had just had just had my second kid and I was eager to play with it.  However after playing with it a few times in my backyard, and dealing with a newborn and 2 year old I tucked it away for another day.  I forgot all about it until two years later (a few months ago) while hiking the Apex Trail.  

     I had never hiked this very popular trail and went as soon as I dropped the kids off at school.  I was thrilled to hike this easy front range trail.  It was my first hike in a while because of quarantine.  The Apex trail did not disappoint!  Along the trail there are a lot of other trails you can venture off to, and one of them is the Enchanted Forest trail.  As soon as I went off on this path, I stopped and admired the trees towering over me.  I knew right away that I needed to come back and take photos, and I am glad I did.  

     If you have not hiked the Apex Trail, it is worth it.  The trail is on the front range and it is nested between I-25 and Golden.  It is a reality easy hike and has many trails to branch off on.  This trail has everything from rivers, towering trees, aspen, wildlife, it is a nice trail to go on if you want to be deep in the mountains but need to stay near Denver.

     Most of the photographs below are from the Apex Trail- Enchanted Forest.  However, there are a few nested at the bottom of the Genesee Trail.

Enjoy.
