We went on a camping trip for the fourth weekend. First time we have been camping with kids! It was an interesting trip, as none of the plans that we started with actually happened.
We left Thursday night, and our plan was to drive to a 4×4 trail up by Camp Hale and set up camp. Well we got a little bit later start than planned and the traffic going out of Denver was terrible (as always). So, we drove to Shrine Pass at the top of the Summit past Copper Mountain. We camped there for the night and were going to drive to the 4×4 trail in the morning. We decided to not set up our tent and fold down all our seats and sleep in the back of our Cruiser! Kyla takes up so much room for being such a little thing, but it wasn’t too bad.
The picture below is the view that we had from the spot we camped at off of Shrine Pass.
Well, morning came and our friends wife was not feeling well, so he drove her back to I-70 for her mother to come pick her up. We were eating breakfast and packing up to head to our trail and our friends son started to not feel well. They decided to just head back home as wheeling would not be the best thing on a sick stomach.
We were very excited to be taking out the newly lifted Cruiser for the first time on a trail, so we didn’t want to head home, but we didn’t want to run this challenging trail on our own. Our friends Amber and Brian were with us, but they were in Zane’s truck.
We decided to check out a trail(Wheeler Lake) on Hoosier Pass outside of Breckenridge. It is probably our most favorite trail from when we had our Wrangler. We made it past the first two hard obstacles and then turned around as people who were coming down said that there was too much snow to make it to the lake and we would have to hike the last little bit. And there was also 20 vehicles up there. We drove down and Zane did the obstacles a couple more times. The first obstacle my heart dropped to my knees, because the front passenger tire came up really really high and did not look good. If I can figure out how to get video on here I will post a video of it.
We then drove to Deckers. The Forest had been reopened after being closed for 5 years due to the Hayman Fire. Before the Hayman Fire we had set up a really nice camping spot and would run the two 4×4 trails in the area. Well, our camp was torched and the trails were closed.

We made a new camping spot, which I must say turned out very nice! However, the 4×4 trails were not opened.
Kyla enjoyed playing in the dirt and we had fun hanging out and enjoying not being in the city.
