As we hiked along, I remembered reading somewhere that God's desire to give Himself to us is greater than our desire to lay hold of Him. One way to get closer to Him is to seek Him through prayer. Walking along the trail, I can do this. I've discovered that praying silently on a hike comes naturally and it's easier than taking a breath. What makes it even more magnificent is to pray while walking through His beautiful creation.
We stopped here for a break, a granola bar, and some fellowship time together. Heather brought her dog who really enjoyed cooling off in the creek. After we got back to the cars, we all met in Golden and had a nice lunch together at the Capitol Grill in Golden.
