Crystal Lakes Hike

This was a nice hike.  There is an Upper and a Lower Crystal Lakes.  For this outing, we stopped at the Lower and had lunch while waiting on others to join us.  The hike to the Upper will have to be on the next trip.   

 

We all started out together on the hike, but split up into different groups along the way.  

At the Lower Crystal Lake we found the remains of this log cabin.   

Being the photo geek that I am, I saw this cool view of the mountains through a window in the log cabin....so we had to capitalize on the photo opportunity...

Breckenridge Moose

We've been going to Colorado for almost every summer and winter for many years now.  It's without a doubt one of our favorite places on Earth.  Of all the times we've visited, I've never seen a bull moose.  I did see a female in Rocky Mountain years ago...but never a bull.  On this trip....we saw a ton!!!

Sarah and Scott were driving around looking at houses in the area and came across these moose very close to the house we rented.  Fortunately they came back to get me and I grabbed my camera!! 

On the way out of town, we came across this mama and her baby.
