Day 6 of Vacation

We had a beautiful drive up to the near ghost town of Montezuma!   Wow, beautiful views of the snake river. 

This was Rachel's view.  haha. 

And Zane's view.  They were happy though! 

All trails were closed!

Welcome to Montezuma!  Such a cool sign!

The town itself looked really rough.  Dirt roads, no grocery store, no businesses, but there was a church building.  Some nice houses and others that were made of plywood.  I am just amazed that people live there.  We saw quite a few bikers.  They would work really hard getting up there, then fly down the mountain at top speed.

A welcoming sight as we entered town, wouldn't you say?

And a matching throne on the other side of the driveway.

Small houses

Stop signs in a barrel

We started down a trail after leaving Montezuma headed to Peru Creek, but I chickened out because of a bear sign, so we will go back with our bear spray soon.

Next, back to Loveland Pass!  Turns out this was the highlight of our day!  So cool!  Jeff said it's the most fun he's had in a long time! 

Jeff had to go back down and get Zane's big jacket.  It was really cold and windy on top!

 We got to see several snow boarders go down.  Pretty neat.  Jeff asked how they got back up and the guy said they hitched a ride with someone.  I guess snowboarders help snowboarders.

 We went back to the snow spot where we went the first time, but went across the road.  It was awesome!

 Snow angels!

Well...

Sometimes we flop.

Zane went so high up on the mountain.  He wanted to go all the way to the top and Jeff said in a couple years he'll do it.

We had such a fun time today.  Zane was so exhausted that when we got home he went to bed.  I tried to get him up to drink, but he just went back to bed until supper.  He was tuckered out and didn't even have the energy to go to the pool!  Now that's tired.  He ate good and drank some gaterade and water, so I was happy with that.  :)  What a great day.
