Drive to the top and Hike to The Pool

On Wednesday we drove up to the top on Trail Ridge Road. There was a lot of snow up there - no green grass yet - it is still winter. It was another beautiful day though - bright sunshine and clear blue skies. It was a really nice drive. We got back about one and Joan headed back to Denver - it was great ot have her come visit. Then I took Breck to the dog park for a little dog fun. When we got back Schers said that the Bighorns were at Sheep Meadow so we hurried over there and there they were. They were pretty far up the hillside but we were able to get a couple of pictures.

Bighorn!

Then yesterday Scherry and I headed out on the Fern Lake Trail. We did a 3 and a half mile hike to The Pool. It was a fairly easy hike so that was a good thing. It was along the Big Thompson River the whole way so it was a really nice hike. We ate lunch at The Pool and then headed back down. We had contemplated hiking farther but we were not sure we were up for a 5 mile hike the first time out!

I was going to add some more pictures but the blog site is not being cooperative. Maybe later.
