Crested Butte

A few weeks ago Harris and I went with our friends to Crested Butte, Colorado. Jovy's Fiance, Trevor, has a cabin there so we all went up for Memorial day weekend.
It was a bit chilly the first day, so we had to wear shoes. Naturally, the only shoes we brought were for hiking so we got to look real good while we went shopping.
(What made this even better was that we saw an old lady wearing the exact same shoes as me. Please excuse the way I look, I was standing funny.)
Harris found this rock wall and actually got up pretty high for not having a harness.
We took a hike up to these caves that nearly killed me, but it was a beautiful view.
This was the front yard of our cabin. One morning, I just happened to wake up at about 5 am and I went to the window. five feet from the window was a black bear. I woke up Harris and we both watched him for a minute before I went to wake up the rest of the house. Everyone had been talking about how they were dying to see a bear, so I figured they wouldn't be too annoyed when I knocked on their doors and told them that there was a bear in the front yard. He walked around in the driveway right behind us.
On our way back we took a scenic route and found this beautiful canyon.
It turns out that that peak right in the middle of the photo is a famous peak called the Curicanti Needle. It was so beautiful and big.



Our trip was so fun and we got to eat a lot of good food. If you are ever there you should go to Secret Stash Pizza. They have really weird pizzas but they are absolutely delicious. In addition to the bear, we also saw lots of wildlife, a fox, an elk and a porcupine. It was a great and much needed trip!
