This summer as part of my internship, I got to go on what was likely a once-in-a-lifetime road trip to the Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado. It was an amazing experience, and we have hundreds of beautiful photos – none of which do justice to the surreal, majestic feeling of being there for real. In spite of this, however, I want to share a handful of photos from the trip and say a few words about them. =)
It’s always surreal to come back from a trip like this, but looking back at these photos, I just feel blessed to have had this opportunity. Spiritual experiences somehow always feel stronger on a mountain top, and these mountaintops were about as high up as you can get in the US. These places are so beautiful in photographs that I want to go back and remind myself how much more lovely they were for real. It is hard to face the reality that this extra loveliness will live on only in my memory, but reassuring to be reminded that the spiritual experiences of the mountaintop are accessible everyday.
