Deer Mountain

While trying to keep away from the construction and drama of Bear Lake Road this year, I have searched out some of the trails in other parts of the park. Only a little further up the main road lies the trailhead for Deer Mountain, a peaceful hike up through the ponderosa pines and a fantastic overlook of Longs and its flanking mountains. 

It was also on this hike that my chance encounters with heart shaped rocks has turned into an obsession. Why were so many different people on my hikes spontaneously seeing heart shaped rocks?

 Pat petting Muneca on the summit of Deer Mountain - I think she was thinking Muneca was a chipmunk.

Deer Mountain - Muneca and I are taking a break and enjoying the view.
