We finished up the Oh Be Joyful Trail early and decided to follow the signs to Paradise Divide
At one point it was uncertain which road was ours so of course Gary goes for the more interesting of the two across water.
It ended up being a dead end so we turn around and follow the other road up.
and up
We run into snow and can't reach Schofield Pass
Not sure if this is Emerald Lake or if that is further up towards the pass.
either way it's beautiful,
We ran into a few narrow spots on the road.
Here's a view of part of the road we took up.
Heading back it seems we should be aware of Marmots.
We continue on to check out Lost Lakes. Gary is tired and waits in the car while Tucson and I take a short hike.
We meet a chipmunk along the way
The Lost Lake is found
Time to head home via the Ohio Pass
One last stop to do the Beaver Pond Trail that we missed last time through.
The trail goes through a large stand of Aspen and pine.
Aspen stand alone - Birch stand in Bunches.
Guess we know how Beaver Pond got its' name
On the way home we pass by this great ranch
I could definitely live here!
A long but enjoyable day!
Meanwhile, we keep on Trek'n
Melissa, Gary & Tucson
