A Mountain Drive

Yesterday we spent a majority of the day just driving around. We all needed to get out of the house for awhile so we decided to go see some area that I haven't seen yet, and that Mike may be perusing this fall for some elk/deer hunting.

We stopped at a small little campground and had lunch. We then discovered that they had a couple of hiking trails out of the campground and decided that we will have to return to this place sometime this summer for a weekend. Definitely looking forward to that.

We then took off on a long upward drive. I'm pretty sure that what we were on isn't technically a mountain, but we got up to 7,650 feet above sea level.

Kylie didn't really appreciate much of the afternoon when we were driving, unless we stepped out for a few minutes to check something out. Sidney didn't mind; she slept for the whole afternoon!

We got to throw a couple of snowballs and see a moose via our binoculars and the super zoom of my camera. It was a pretty low key drive, but it was nice to see some new views and to get some fresh air.

Here are a bunch of pictures from our drive. :)

pretty rocks
 

 

snow at about 7600 feet, there was snow at 7400 feet too

Kylie and the snow. She was pretty excited about it.
 

Moose!

A really really old homestead
 

That homestead is across the canyon from here
 
 
It was a good way to waste some of the day.
 
 It is raining and windy and just down right gloomy here today. We will probably be spending the day inside hanging out.
 
Hope your day is warmer and sunnier than ours!
