(as told by Tyler) This summer, we went on a summer trip to Colorado and Utah. While on vacation, we visited Rocky Mountain National Park, Arches National Park, and Canyonlands National Park. I knew I was going to pop the question on this trip, but wasn’t quite sure where. Courtney saw a picture of a place in RMNP that really caught her attention. I knew this would be the place! We then made the 3.6 mile hike to “Loch Vale”, AKA “The Loch”. Definitely not one of the easiest of hikes! Courtney was busy taking pictures of the scenery. Without her knowing it, I quickly asked a couple passing by if they could take some pictures of us. After they had agreed to do so, I leaned in and told them my plan and asked them to take lots of pictures. I walked up to Courtney, started telling her about how things don’t always go according to plan, but we compliment each other so well and make a wonderful team. I then got down on one knee and popped the question. The scene was beautiful, and the rest is history (and a jubilant 3.6 mile hike back)!
