10 Year Anniversary Trip: Ouray to Santa Fe

Our 10 Year Anniversary Trip to Ouray, CO and Santa Fe, NM was wonderful.  Grandy and Grandad watched the boys for more then a week while we went on a road trip.  We started out in Lake City, CO famous for Alphie Packer who is a famous Colorado Cannibal.  We tried to hike Handies Peak but the weather was so bad that we had to skip that hike.  Instead we put the 4 Runner to use and drove over what is usually beautiful scenery but was so socked in with fog and clouds we could not see much.  
We drove to 12, 640 feet

Starting our hike up Mt. Sneffels



This was REALLY steep and we had to look up for rocks falling down from hikers above.


I love this picture!  Summit of Mt. Sneffels.  Elevation 14, 150  July 30, 2013
