Over the pass to find Little Baldy.
We studied the maps and had a hazy idea of the way we took 7 years ago...
...and we made it! To the top!
Certainly not the trail straight up we used years ago.
And certainly not the quickest route.
But we explored some new-to-us terrain, and gave Granny a chance to drive all morning.
Along the way we snagged our fishing lines and spent some time untangling.
We found some more beautiful wild roses.
And a forest field of lavender loveliness growing beneath the tall tall Pines and Aspens.
Ahhh, here we are exploring the tip-top and morning's destination. Eating another picnic in the clouds.

Next stop, Wanita Hot Springs Reservoir. (That's what we called it anyway.)
We used our repaired lines to fish, but only caught a lot of nibbles and 1 trout. (Plus a funny photo expression!)
Oh, and many more flowers!
Bouquets for Mamaw. Bouquets for the Ranger. Bouquets for the cabin.
(Yep, Colorado 4-wheeling has a different flair with 6 ladies along.)
What was intended to be a short day, lasted all day.
However, we still managed to enjoy the grilled chicken supper, creek fishing, father/son jaunt to Tarpaper Shack, replenishing firewood, a warm woodstove fire, hummingbird entertainment, and s'mores with service.
Vacation is good.
God is Great!
