Independence Pass

We headed up to Independence Pass this morning since it just opened on Thursday after being closed for the winter. Finley was very excited to see the snow, she even was able to throw a few snowballs. There were lots of back country skiiers out and it was cool to see them coming down the mountain. I cannot believe how far they hike to ski! Finley and I will stick to the gondola and chair lifts. Once we made it to the top we stopped for a picnic lunch. After lunch, Finley was grouchy and ended up throwing up. Poor thing! The altitude combined with the huge lunch she ate didn't sit well with her. We cut our trip short and headed back home.
