This morning we rolled out of bed at
0530 because wildlife viewing is suppose to be so much better in the
early morning. In the past we have found this to be true. If memory
serves we were up at 0400 to go find the wolves at Yellowstone and
find them we did. They walked down the road just in front of our
car. Well, the wild life at Muncho Lake must like to sleep in on
Saturday because we saw nothing this morning.
Back at Fred we had a nice breakfast
and then went to Boulder Canyon for another hike.
We love this
hiking in the Rocky Mountains!! So beautiful. So peaceful. This
hike was similar to yesterday's in terrain – a little steeper in
areas, and more snow in areas.
There were stone sheep on the
mountain tops staring down at us. We had to work our way around a
snow bridge – with the melting snow didn't trust trying to cross on
it. A little further up the canyon we came to another snow bridge
that we couldn't work around – side of the canyon had become too
steep so we had to work our way back down. At one of the snow
bridges where the snow had split apart you would see a blue color
like we have seen in glaciers.
We saw some pretty little water falls
and pools of ice cold water. Also some little spring flowers.
On the
way home from the hike we saw three more caribou, licking the
minerals from the side of the road.
(This was about lunch time –
guess they finally woke up.)
Otherwise we took care of some general
maintenance items, sat in our chairs and stared at the beautiful lake
and mountains and relaxed. Hope everyone is having a great weekend.
