Near Pikes Peak in Colorado. Made time for some hiking while we were on our way to Denver for an overnight IKEA run.So glad we did because this was easy with a huge payoff...The perfect combination for hiking at 6 months pregnant.

White Rock, NM We intended to take the Blue Dot Trail or the Red Dot Trail but I'm not even sure that we even found either one. We ended up scrambling down the canyon to the Rio Grande, never found the trail, walked along the river for a while, then made our way back up.

I don't know how many miles we really hiked. We took a trail to some petroglyphs and from there hiked down through several arroyos. Ojito Wilderness, New Mexico
