Breathtaking Scenery and "White Knuckle" Trails

John Denver sang, "Rocky Mountain High"-he must have ridden the tall peaks for inspiration for that song. This country is truly a gigantic "high" or "rush".  You get a "WOW" rush from the beautiful scenery and you get a "Whoo" rush  by riding the off camber boulder strewn ledges and trails.  At 12,000 feet you are above the tree line-just rocks and snow plus beautiful alpine flowers.
     The place is filled with "wonder"-old gold mines, abandoned log cabins, waterfalls and beaver dams. Bruce decided to opt for a beaver dam bath and helped build their dam at the same time.  I was busy trying to make snow angels.  I believe too many people constantly worry what others think-don't take yourself too seriously-have fun-these are the good old days!
