On Saturday, Peter & I headed West to spend a week in Steamboat Springs.
The plan was to relax, explore, do some caching,photography and perhaps a little snowshoeing or some cross country skiing.
The weather in Fort Collins was good and there was definitely no snow to be found there.
We borrowed the snowshoes from Doug and Heidi and took off to see if we could find any last vestiges of snow in the mountains.
We drove West on Highway 14. This highway follows the Poudre River and cuts through the canyon. We stopped along the way to catch a couple of caches. When we stopped, we were rewarded with some beautiful spring wildflowers. Stopping for pictures was a definite must.
We spotted only one moose along the way, but it was too far off in the marsh to make a worthwhile shot. The colors in the marsh were spectacular.
We made it to the condo by dinner time without any problems. We unpacked, had dinner and relaxed for the rest of the evening with plans to explore the area in the daylight. We were here last fall, so it would just be a matter of getting reacquainted with everything.
