The first day, we took the Jeep on an 8 mile trail in Red River to Goose Lake. The trail was narrow and a little butt puckering at times, but we made it to the top. The lake was so clear and serine. So beautiful! We hiked around the lake for about 2 hours stopping to have lunch. There were some friendly goats in the parking lot that walked up to people to get any handout they could get. We meet some nice people there too. One lady, Shelia, hiked with is for about 45 minutes because her fi nfs did not want to. We headed back down the mountain before the afternoon monsoons hit. These can be bad and I did not want to get caught on the mountain during one of these.
The next day, we stayed at the house and rested all day. It was such a gorgeous day to do so. Plus, it was supposed to rain later but never did. No matter...it was nice to stay at the house to get a few things done and then read a book the rest of the day. I did sneak out that morning for a 3 mile hike near the house. While sitting outside, we got to see a herd of elk. They were so beautiful. The moms were teaching their babies how to jump the fence behind the house. So amazing! I had no idea they made a chirping sound.
Here are the animals and the view I saw during the hike:
We knew there were some friends from home visiting Angle Fire at the same time as us. They came over to the house for a hour to visit. During that time, we made plans to go rafting the next morning with the and their 3 kids....which we did. We did cat. 2 and 3 rapids for 6 miles which took about 1 1/2 hours. The kids did great! Wish I could have taken some pictures but they had us leave our phones and keys with the van. Here are some blurry ones but you have an idea of the raft size and at least one of the rapids.
