Yurt Trip!

A few weeks ago we spent the weekend in the woods with a great group of friends! We left south Denver after work Friday, drove up through Fort Collins and out Cameron Pass. We made it to the trail head close to midnight and started snowshoeing and cross-country skiing under a million stars to our home for the weekend.

We made it to our cabin close to 2am.

Girls Cabin

Boys Cabin

I woke up early Saturday morning and decided to explore the area. The mountains were so beautiful with the sun rising over them.

Soon enough everyone woke up and saw our cabin in the daylight.

While we were making breakfast, Mike made a bird friend! My little Dr. Doolittle.

and went for a few runs down the sledding luge.

we enjoyed breakfast together outside our cabin

and then started on our hike up to the lake.

It was a pretty steep trek up but totally worth it. The bowl surrounding the lake was absolutely gorgeous!

most of us on top of the island in the middle of the lake.

more sledding (this run went a little wonky and Stephen ended up crashing into Mike and Ryan)

so much fun!

more sledding on a super super steep hill across the valley

climbing back up

Mike sledding (falling) down

the snow was really falling at this point! I love these guys!

the boys cooked dinner for us Saturday night

Sunday morning we trekked back out through the winter wonderland.

what an amazing Colorado weekend!
