Icicle Ridge, sans icicles....

Well. THAT was a steep hike. The boys had their little GPS toys, so we know we went 4400 feet elevation gain in 5.1 miles, for a 10.2 mile total round trip. Perfect weather for it, just cold enough to keep us from burning up, but nice enough that there was no need to bundle up (heck, I did the snow free portion in shorts...).

These signs relay important messages, that you actually need to follow. I've always wondered who the hell makes these? They are COMPLETELY bonkers, and impossible to take seriously.... I mean come on, look at those horses!




That's highway 2 down there.


The boys with the toys.


I have a lot of pictures into the sun because that's where we were headed.




The "snow lake" trail into the Enchantments....


Where we called it a day.




If you want to instantly and unequivocally win my heart, you will find out where to buy this product, and buy me one. (Andrew got it as a gift, and doesn't know)




Fuck BPA, I like this thing.


Best picture from the day, in my opinion.




On the way home, we passed the "Bonefish Grill", where they have a skeleton of a fish on their sign. I immediately thought of fossils, was inspired, and have decided to open a fish and chips restaurant, and call it "The Devonian Grill".
