Cache La Poudre River

Adam had a few days off, so when he caught up on sleep we took a little trip exploring.
This is the Cache La Poudre River. We went for a little day trip driving up the canyon that follows this river. Adam would like to come back for some fly fishing, he saw some great spots!Can you guess what this is left fresh for us that same morning??? Take the poll!!!Here Kyler is giving his typical cheesy smile.
Time for our picnic lunch
Kyler couldn't resist the water, he just had to splash in it! Here he is picking up some "cones" in the water
we must have walked with back and forth with Kyler at least 50 times! As you can imagine, he was ticked when it was time to go!!!


Not happy to be going!
It was a fun trip! It was pretty arid in this canyon, but on our way back we found another road away from the river and it had lots of pines and green grassy meadows. There were some beautiful cabins we saw as well, too bad they aren't ours! We are excited to explore another part of the mountains near us and hopefully find some better campgrounds. The campsites in this canyon are for tents and were $16 a night!!! some didn't even have water. We would like to explore the Rocky Mountain National park also when we have some more time, because it's $20 just to drive thru there! So we'd want to spend some time and get our money's worth. We couldn't believe the prices these Colorado hippies charge for their precious mountains :) j/k. It was nice to get out of town and explore.

that "bear poop" (or at least that's what I think it is) is NASTY!!! You guys are lucky that bear was obviously sick and didn't need any more dinner!! As for the other pictures, it looks like you guys had a nice time! It looks so beautiful there!! I'm jealous of the beautiful mountain scenery. This part of California is so desolate all we have is dang kit-foxes and skunks!!!
