On Thursday we headed back to Colorado, and camped at Cold Spring campsite in the Gunnison National Forest near Crested Butte. We enjoyed the cool weather at camp on Thursday evening, making Tex-Mex Rice for dinner, and enjoying a fire and a few beers from the Laughing Lab brewery.
On Friday, Joe's 30th birthday (!) we hiked part of the Washington Gulch trail after a relaxing morning at camp.
The trail gained elevation quickly and steadily, switchbacking through a huge hillside of wildflowers.
Above is the valley from whence we came, and below is my best Sound of Music pose.
We had dinner at The Last Steep Bar and Grill in Crested Butte, a really great laid back mountain town.
After ice cream and a stroll in town we headed back to camp for one last fire before we headed home on Saturday.
