Another bike ride happened the next morning before the bikes had to be returned. This time Derek convinced Maeley into going by allowing her to ride in the bike trailer. She wanted nothing to do with the tagalong.
While on our ride we saw several marmots. This one let use get pretty close.
There was a rock garden along side the bike path.
After the bike ride we went home to get ready because we had decided to go to Vail which was about 20 minutes away. I'm so glad we did. It was so beautiful. Kim joined us for a fun afternoon.
Of course Zoe loved these purple flowers!
Some of the building were so cute! And I could not get enough of all the water! There was a river going through the shopping area. The same for the outlets in Silverthorn. I'd love to live in Colorado some day!
I thought it was funny they started their white water rafting in the middle of the shopping center.
And that poor girl didn't make it 500 feet before she was soaked!
Enjoying our treat from Rock Mountain Chocolate Factory
The firemen had the same idea we had ice cream and treats!
A little while after getting back to the cabin a group of us went for a hike. It first started out hiking up the mountain under the ski lifts. By the way that was a steep hike. Then we found a trail going into the forest on both sides. We chose to go the left and hike. We then saw trail markers that told us we were on the Colorado trail.

It was just so beautiful!
Kari was just holding Lydia, none of us knew we were going on a real hike.
This is when we learned that Maeley loves hiking! She really wanted to keep going.
