When I was last in Colorado, I went hiking with my boyfriend at Chautauqua Park. We followed a girl on the trail up between the first and second Flatirons until she left the trail to tuck herself onto a rocky perch overlooking the valley below. With a book. That girl hiked half a pretty challenging trail just to get to the ultimate reading spot…my kind of girl! Though not quite as exciting, I love these window seats because every one of them is situated to take advantage of a fantastic natural landscape! Because the only thing better than reading the day to away is to occasionally lift your nose from your book and remind yourself that reality isn’t too bad either.
