Bear Creek to Evergreen

It was a nice and hot August day and we were planning to go somewhere. Somewhere close, cool and... with beautiful scenery along the way. Evergreen came to mind, and there is no better road than the windy Bear Creek Road. And we had good company too ;)

 

Highway 6 is the road where you drive straight and fast. Enjoying the wind and speed. But once we passed Morrison, the road changed...

Bear Creek Road is not speed. It's about scenery. So we stopped here and there, walked along the creek and stared around.

We took our time and enjoyed the roaring water and tough rocks surrounding the road...

It took a while for us to drive these 20-odd miles... But we didn't regret a thing.

Finally we disembarked in Evergreen where we walked along the street, had lunch and coffee before heading home :)

Did you know that Evergreen National Bank is hidden in the woods there? Small log house with 24 hours ATM service... Love it! ;)

 

That time we only enjoyed the town and not the lake... But another time we skipped the walk along the main street and opted for a hike around the lake instead - Evergreen Lake, hot August day.
