City Park Denver at Sunrise by Zara Otaifah
Heading over to the City Park in Denver is one of my favorite weekend routines. I grabbed my camera at 4:00 am in the morning to catch up on the sunrise. Colorado is known for its colorful sky at both sunrise and sunset. The golden rising sun rays were reflecting on the boathouse windows in a beautiful way. I then took a jog knowning that I had great weekend memories stored on my mind and great sunrise pictures saved on my camera.

Bear Lake in Spring by Zara Otaifah
One of my favorite spots in Colorado is the Bear Lake which is located in Estes Park | Rocky Mountains National Parks. Bear Lake is a popular, year-round destination in Rocky Mountain National Park, located at 9,449 feet of elevation. It’s situated 13 miles southwest of Estes Park, Colorado, making it an easy trip year round. The 11 surface-acre alpine lake is one of the most frequently photographed features in the national park. It provides visitors pristine mountain views with plenty of ways to enjoy the scenery. For me its a breathtaking scenery, the lake is not that huge but I can sit for hours just pondering and conttemolating about it's beauty and how nature could be perfect. I stopped to take this picture when it was cloudy during my hike in the round type trail around the lake.
