We were supposed to see the Snowmass Balloon Festival this morning, but it was rained out. So we decided to head up to Maroon Bells since Clifton had heard that the leaves had started to change up there (they really hadn't!) As we walked along the path, a man in front of us pointed up the hill...it was a moose! He ended up sticking around for quite awhile and we saw him walk all around the lake, even stopping for a drink. He got real close to us, he wasn't scared at all. I was! We also saw a small rock slide at the top of the mountain. On the drive home we saw a deer scamper across the road. Hopefully the weather clears so we can see the balloon glow this evening.
