Steamboat Springs


Today was a short drive to Steamboat Springs. A down day to relax, clean the trailer, read, and then we took a short hike to Fish CreekFalls, just outside of town. The fall colors are here in the scrub oak and Aspen, but the temperature is 88, so there are kids playing in the swimming pool. We can see another fire further east of us. We went to Mahogony Ridge Brewery for some beer and a delicious dinner.

As usual, we really enjoyed our camping trip. While the fires we encountered throughout the west, made for poor visibility, it was still a very scenic trip. We were surprised to learn that southern Idaho was filled with old calderas, it added a lot to our Yellowstone knowledge. It was great to see some of Vancouver, but next time, we won’t come on a holiday weekend. Char and Dick were gracious to accompany us on our tour of the Seattle area. Can’t wait to do another extended camping trip.

If you want to see more pictures and videos, there is video of the entire trip on youtube
