Back in May, we drove up to Independence Pass and on the way stopped to check out the ghost town on the way. Unfortunately, there was too much snow on the ground to access the town from the parking area. Things sure have changed in a month, there wasn't a bit of snow on the ground, just water running down the side of the mountain from the melt. Finley was excited for some "hitchhiking ghosts" like she sees at the Haunted Mansion in Disney. There were no ghosts, but there were a lot of neat buildings, even a general store set up with information about the former mining town. Finley and I hiked earlier this morning, so we got a couple more runs today in her hiking shoes, so hopefully they are well broken in by now.
