We went on a great camping trip this weekend near Redstone and Marble, CO. It was absolutely breathtaking: wildflowers in bloom, magnificent and green the mountains, lovely thunder and rainstorms :), great food, and one adorable and happy little boy. The fishing wasn't that great, bummer, but the hiking and time around camp was wonderful.
We visited Marble, CO. Huge blocks of pure white marble lined the mountain road up to the mine. The stone was beautiful: pure white. Amazing to think that this could come out of the ground.
The clouds remained low throughout the whole first day. It made us feel like we had gone back to Oregon. Green and wildflowers everywhere. The next day when the rain broke for a few hours we were able to see just how incredible these mountains are. They were huge! Amazing.
Jadeyn enjoyed his backpack carrier and loved hiking with us. We went on Three Lakes Trail which lead us past three lakes and a waterfall. The fishing wasn't all that great. We only kept two, bummer. But I guess its okay since we don't like fish anyway and give them all away. :)
We can't believe the summer is nearing an end. Its been great!
