Our 3rd and final day of our trip, we ventured through Glenwood Springs over to Aspen. We didn't spend too much time in the town before we were off and boarding a bus to travel about 30 minutes to our main destination: the Maroon Bells. The name is a bit misleading, but the Maroon Bells are actually two 14ers (in non-Colorado speak, those are mountains higher than 14,000 feet). This area happens to be the most widely photographed scene in Colorado. And for good reason, it was beyond beautiful. This is Colorado, at its finest.

The lake. The mountains. Our family loved visiting here.
"Do you see what I see?"
On this weekend trip, we also celebrated our anniversary.
Here's the happy couple married for 11 years!
Two boys with a stick, a rock & some water...
quite the entertainment!
Boys will be boys...
That mud was just too tempting!
This is debris left from an avalanche.
Mountain Men
Bridge over a mountain stream
Over the river and through the woods...
and up some really big mountains!
Returning home, we drove over Independence Pass.
This is the view from the top of the pass. Amazing!
