On Tuesday we hit the road and took a daytrip to Idaho Springs to check out St. Mary's Glacier. Because Chris will probably correct me (again:) I'll go ahead and clarify that the "glacier" isn't really a glacier because apparently it doesn't move. So, it is officially dubbed a "perennial snow-field." Glacier sounds cooler.

| Haha they pretty much had an "on your honor" pay system. We made a check out to the "glacier" |
 |
| It was a pretty rocky trail. |
 |
| The glacier! |
 |
| The coolest part was how the glacier's lake was literally just right there. It was gorgeous. |

| To the left of me is some strange little creature we found. It almost looked like a prairie dog. We named him Chubs. |
 |
| Going up the mountain on the snow wasn't too bad but going down was a little iffy. |
 |
| Almost falling down. |
 |
| A look back up at one of the rockiest parts of the trail. |
 |
| Headed back down the mountain. |
 |
| Pretty waterfall on the way down. |
 |
| Smelly loves the mountains. |
 |
| Our stop in Evergreen on the way home. |
 |
| The Evergreen Lake. |
 |
| We also stopped at Red Rocks. |
 |
| I HAVE to see a concert here. Its so pretty! |
 |
| After some quick showers to get the dust off we hit up Peachwave, one of our favorite yogurt places and then caught Water for Elephants at the theater. |
I love the sign that says that fatalities occur every year! You guys are courageous!
