June 11-13, 2010 --- Strawberry Park Hotsprings

April's getting old, so we packed up and hit our favorite hotsprings retreat to celebrate her birthday! Chilly, rainy weather made for a super cozy weekend. A steady diet of decadent yet simple food on the grill and tasty wine makes for general good livin' in these parts.


We tried to drive home over Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mt. Natl. Park, but the same storm that brought rain to the hotsprings had also brought snow to the high country and the road was closed higher up due to ice. However, we drove in partway, and were able to hike towards the headwaters of the Colorado River.

A few miles further up, the river is barely a creek and you can straddle the mighty Colorado. I'll have to make it up to the actual headwaters someday, but today we got chased back to the car by an approaching t-storm.
