Milner Pass Hike in RMNP

We hiked down Milner Pass with Uncle Randy this morning. The trailhead started at 11,796 feet and ended at 10,759 feet . It was a beautiful hike starting above the tree line that continued down to a pretty lake. Aunt Sandy was kind enough to drop us off at the top and pick us up at the bottom. The kids had a great time hanging with her too.

Cruising on E-Bikes

The bike shops were short on bikes to rent this year so we ended up getting E-bikes. We had no idea they would be a blast to ride! They were so much fun that we renting them twice this week. There wasn’t a hill to tall to climb so we went all over the Winter Park/Fraser area.

Rocky Mountain National Park

We went to Rocky Mountain National Park late in the afternoon and had so much luck finding wildlife! We saw 14 Moose, tons of Elk, a couple of deer and a few Marmots. It was such an exciting day seeing so many Moose! We took a picnic dinner to Lake Irene and had the place to ourselves. It was a great outing!
