Off To Neder, Nederland

Sorry. I couldn’t help myself, and had a little play on Metallica’s “Off To Never, Neverland”.

We are very lucky living where we do. We can go in any direction, and it won’t take long before we leave the city behind and are surrounded by all of of nature’s beauty. Nederland is a small little mountain town in Boulder County, that fits that description. It’s just a short drive from us, and soon we are in a quaint, quirky little mountain town, surrounded by lots of beautiful scenery.

A couple of weeks ago, Mike and Lauren and Larry and I all went up to Nederland for a hike around the lake. It was a beautiful day for it too. We had packed a picnic lunch and enjoyed it before starting our hike.

The only wild critters we saw on this little excursion were these two. They can be pretty scary sometimes too, trust me. 🙂

We did see a lot of beautiful mountain flowers though. Of course I had to stop many times along the way to take pictures.

We had plenty of other photo ops too.

After the hike, we went into town. No trip to Nederland is complete without a spin or two around the Carousel of Happiness. A Trip To Nederland – Part 1 – The Carousel of Happiness.

We finished our Nederland experience with a stop at Augustina’s Winery too. A Trip to Nederland – Part 3 – Augustina’s Wine

Life is always better when shared with friends. It’s not what we do, but who we do it with that matters. Have a great day and make everyday great. Stay safe and stay well. ‘Til next time.

  1. I missed that Netherland, Colorado! It’s been a long time since I haven’t! We should travel to different town and mountains one of these days! When it’s nice! I want to go travel more! Plus I miss going to winery! It’s really good! 😌😌
