We took a break at the lake for a snack before deciding to head even higher towards Electric Pass, the highest named pass in Colorado at 13,635 feet. At around noon we stopped for lunch in an alpine meadow below Electric Pass; we decided to save that summit for another day and headed back down after lunch.
Our dogs were pleasantly surprised to find snow in late June, and we paused to let them romp around and cool off. When we made it to the van, we loaded up and headed further up Castle Creek to find a spot where we could drink a cold beer and soak our feet in the icy creek.
We treated ourselves to appetizers and chilled wine on the patio of the Pine Creek Cookhouse (where we were married in 2013) then drove for about a half hour up a dirt road and made camp for the night. It was a wonderful first anniversary, and I look forward to many, many more!
CHEERS!
