Summer mountains in Idaho Springs, CO Saturday, August 8, 2015.

Summer in the mountains differs greatly from the normal sizzling Las Cruces, NM summers. Temperatures in Colorado mountain town Idaho Springs drop into the mid-50s on a summer’s night, and float around the 70s during the day. During a summer camping trip with friends, I was able to get a few days out of the heat and enjoy the Colorado mountain air.
