Camping Trip #2

The Allbritton family had another fun-filled camping trip with Chloe the Cub over the weekend. Friday afternoon we headed past Buena Vista to Nathrop Colorado, then headed West to Chalk Lake campground (just around 2 hours away). So far, it is our favorite location. Not only was the scenery gorgeous, but there was a fantastic .5 mile hike leading up to a waterfall, Agnes Vaille Falls right across the road from our camping spot. The campground also had a roaring creek and lake (hence Chalk Creek Lake). Both boys made it up the hike just fine, despite the fact that the top got a little rocky and steep. After naps on Saturday, we headed over to Mt. Princeton Hot Springs, which was a fun, and warm, way to bathe off from our earlier hike.

Several observations: campfire cooking is more challenging than I thought it would be & having our own private bathroom is priceless!

We were welcomed to our site by two mountain goats. They really are not very attractive close up.

Here is the view from our camping spot. Tyler and I had a total of about 5 1/2 minutes to sit down and peacefully enjoy it.

Napping Chase…it’s hot in the camper, so naked is the only way to go!
