Rainy Day Driving

Spillway Falls trail...Lake Irwin. I'm glad my raincoat is big enough to fit over my backpack!

Flowers for Days

Even with rain, the view is beautiful

We woke up this morning to a heavily cloudy day and the forecast said rain, rain, rain all day. So, we cancelled our hopes for hiking and decided to do some driving instead. Hallie and I took Laurie out to Lake Irwin hoping to hike down to Spillway Falls. We were very lucky to make it part of the way without rain, but soon the cameras were put up and the raincoats came out. We continued to walk so Laurie could see the entire length of the Falls. Even in the rain, it was beautiful. We came back home for lunch and then we saw a small break in the clouds. Laurie and I decided to drive along Gothic Road so she could see a different view than this morning. The area we went to this morning was mostly tree lined, but Gothic Road is gorgeous mountains and fields of flowers. We were so happy we went when we did, because just as we were ready to turn around and head home, the rain returned.
