The mountains rise in every direction
and the Blue River flows in the valley below. 
We have enjoyed walking and biking each way on Kit Carson Drive - (County Road 1001).Kremmling, the closest town, is 10 miles north. Home of the Mustangs and a lovely park and playground. Owen loved the Vietnam era helicopter and the eagle sculpture;
i.e. the "hopicopter" and the "hummingbird". We all enjoyed the 
water pad with fountains, sprays and 
arcs of water in which to cool off.
We were so lucky to be able to watch a mountain bike race in the outskirts of Breckenridge. Todd raced in the Expert Division over a course that was 19.5 miles long! We were able to cheer him on over the final "lap"! 
Owen yelled for Uncle Todd - "woo hoo"!
Phil's favorite thing all week, besides the day of fishing, was the tour of the Country Boy Mine! 
We went into the cold, wet tunnel about 1000 feet to learn of the miner's life and work in Summit County in the late 1800's.
The tour ended with an opportunity to pan for gold! Phil has often talked about trying that, and he was happy to finally have the chance. Several of us tried our hand at it, some of us discovering tiny golden particles in the sand at the bottom of our pans!
