Description

Who's down for a sunset picnic in the mountains? Me! And since this will be my last hosted hike before Baby Boy arrives, I'm hoping we can have a little bit of a party!!

Hiking Deets:

Location: St. Mary's Glacier Trailhead

Date/Time: Sunday, Oct 1., leave trailhead for lake at 4:00 pm (if you can't make it at that time, feel free to pop by later, we'll just be hanging at the lake!)

Hike rating: Easy! Only about 3/4 mile to the lake at the base of the "glacier" (it's not technically a glacier anymore)

Other deets:

- I'll be bringing picnic supplies/food: finger sandwiches, chips, hot cocoa/Bailey's, cookies, etc. If you'd like to chip in and bring something on your own, great!

- Bring a chair or a blanket or a hammock to chill out on while we eat and chat about life, epic trails, the existence of aliens, whatever!

- You can arrive and leave at anytime. I'll be eating and relaxing at the lake at the base of the glacier and plan on being there until sunset and then heading back down a little bit afterward. If you do the same, make sure to bring a headlamp!

- Feel free to hike up the glacier for a little exercise if you'd like. If you plan on hiking prior to the picnic, meet us back down at the lake around 5 pm!

Let's celebrate the awesomeness that is Mountain Chicks Colorado.

    Radicchio, Roasted Pepper, and Provolone Ciabatta Sandwiches

    Perfect Picnics

    So what makes a perfect picnic? Is it the right food or location, good weather, things to do, privacy, or peace and quiet? I think it's probably a combination of all that stuff. Of course good company beats the rest of it, but since I can't write the perfect person into your date I'll just offer some ideas for the other parts and hope the company works itself out. The two big issues for romantic picnic ideas are where to go and what to bring. Let's start with the where:

    Picnic with a View

    • A hilltop where you can see people fly kites, sail, surf, paraglide, fly remote-controlled gliders, or do any other fun-to-watch activities. Avoid noise, things like waverunners are better from a distance.
    • A place to watch sports while you picnic, like a polo field, lacrosse, ultimate Frisbee, or any other local club sports
    • A view of the city skyline, a bridge, bay or harbor, stadium, or other attractive landmark
    • Botanical gardens
    • Historic areas with old buildings and architecture

    Back to Nature

    • Along a lake, river, or near a waterfall
    • An open meadow
    • Hillside looking out across a valley
    • Nature preserves
    • The desert during more temperate months
    • Wooded areas or a forest clearing

    • Cliffs along the shoreline where you can see miles and miles of coast
    • Beaches with built-in bbq's for grilling
    • Fire pits are a fun way to stay past sunset and roast marshmallows
    • If on a lake or other calm body of water, think about small docks
    • If you have a lake in your area, could you take a rowboat to a secluded spot?

    • Look for parks that offer concerts or other productions by talking to your parks department
    • Investigate parks in surrounding areas by visiting city websites
    • Find one with good space and shade so you can get away from the crowds and sun

    • Enjoy the changing of the seasons by taking a drive to an area where you can experience the brilliant colors of fall. Bring a waterproof blanket, warm clothes and hot food!
    • Plan a picnic is the snow with hot cider, cocoa, coffee, tea, or mulled wine, along with a big container of hot soup. Bring a waterproof blanket and keep food warm in cooler with heated bricks (see food section below). While you're out there pick a spot to go sledding or build a snowman!
    • Enjoy the blooming spring flowers by taking a drive to the country and having a picnic in a meadow among the wildflowers. Pick a bouquet to take home and enjoy for the rest of the week. Don't forget a container to keep the flowers watered for the ride home.

    • Rooftop
    • Festivals
    • On a boat
    • Pick your own fruit farm
    • Vineyard, along with wine tasting

    What to Bring

    • Mayonnaise spoils quickly, keep it refrigerated and add to salads or sandwiches after arrival
    • Keep eggs and dairy products well-chilled
    • Keep food cold with frozen bottles of water that you can drink later after they’ve thawed
    • If you’re bringing hot food, one trick for keeping it warm is to put a few bricks in the oven at 250 degrees F for 45 minutes or so, and then wrap them in tin foil and place in a cooler on top of a towel (so they don't melt through). This will keep anything you put in the cooler warm for up to an hour.
    • Use Ziploc bags to keep food fresh
    • Pack soft foods in hard containers so they don’t get squished
    • Pack food just before leaving for the picnic
    • Make sure alcohol is permitted if you plan on bringing it

    This is a big list of possible items that may give you ideas or at least keep you from forgetting important things:

    • Thick blanket (waterproof if area's damp)
    • Small cooler
    • Picnic basket or backpack
    • Napkins
    • Disposable plates, plastic cups and utensils
    • Condiments
    • Wet wipes
    • One plastic bag for trash and another for used dishware or glasses that you're taking home
    • Jug of water and 2 light towels to clean up. Dampen the towels and use to freshen up, remove sunscreen, clean dog paws, etc
    • Bug spray (optional)
    • Wine glasses (optional)
    • Corkscrew (optional)
    • Umbrella or canopy for shade (optional)
    • Hats or sunscreen (optional)
    • Warm clothes if it might cool off (optional)
    • Flashlight (optional)
    • Camera (optional)
    • Talcum powder around the outside of the picnic blanket to keep ants away (optional)

    And some romantic picnic ideas:

    • Small vase and flowers, picked upon arrival if possible
    • Tealight candles in glass tumblers or large shot glasses, or a solar sun jar if you're staying past sunset
    • Music
    • A pillow or two

    What to do

    • Flying a kite
    • Play games like backgammon, cribbage, or cards
    • Frisbee
    • Let your dog(s) enjoy the picnic with you and play
    • Swimming
    • Bocce ball or other lawn games
    • Hiking
    • Listen to each other's favorite music
    • Bring 5 or 6 types of wine and have you own wine tasting
    • Play catch with a football or kick a soccer ball around
    • Do a crossword puzzle together
    • Lay back and spot cloud shapes
    • An after-lunch stroll
    • Bring bubbles!
