Last Sunday (our last day with Mojo & Dado) took us all out of town and into the Forest for some hiking and sight-seeing in the Flat Tops.
One of our favorite destinations is Trapper's Lake - and this trip did not disappoint!
Though it was a bit chilly, the sun was shining and the lake was lovely. We had hamburgers at the Lodge and then played around a bit outside... even took a moment for a family picture!
Then we were off to see some wild life!
The plan worked out great - to get down off the Flat Tops around dusk so as to catch the elk coming down for water and possibly a little action with one of those good looking bulls!
 |
| wait - these were not the "cows" we were expecting to see up here! |
 |
| ah, yes - here are the elk cows and their calves! |
 |
| and one of the few big bulls we happened to see! |
 |
| bonus: we glimpsed this gorgeous creature on the way home, just before dark! |
Probably the best wild life we saw all week though were these two, freckly, dirty little scoundrels who love each other dearly and make everything a little more fun!
Loved the hiking, the mountains, the wildlife and breathtaking views....but by far my fav was those two scoundrels;-D Miss them so....
