Along with the cattle, was some pretty phenomenal looking scenery, including this tree that decided it didn't need to grow up, it would rather grow out.
The ground was a mixture of sand and very dusty dirt that made it hard to breathe in spots, especially if you were bringing up the rear.
Our first day we did a 15 mile round trip up the mountain. What made the ride really nice was the fact that there was a lake at the very top called Surprise Lake. The lake, which is fed by snow runoff, was so cold and the neatest shade of aqua.
At the top, we all took a small rest and Chris took this wonderful picture of Megan and I.
On the way back down the mountain, Chris got a chance to work some more cows with Ginger....
Megan had a chance to run down the hill with Arizona.....
And then Chris took a turn running through the meadows.
On Day 2, we decided to just do a light ride, and did only 10 miles! This time we went to a place called Cert Lake. See if you can find Chris in this photo!
Upon reaching the lake, we had to eat our lunch in a hurry. Unlike the lake at Surprise, this one was a weird shade of yellowish green, and had lots of bugs everywhere. The backdrop was pretty spectacular though.
On the way down the mountain we paused to give our horses a little breather. I think Megan needed one too!
Megan and I ended the ride by galloping across the meadows. I can't believe my hat didn't fly off!

Well at least one of the pictures I took didn't come out all blurry! Next time you chase the cows I will try to get the camera cap off faster and actually get a picture of that too!
You're just not fast enough! Mom wanted to know why there isn't a picture of me and you.
Personally I blame Megan for that - she just didn't take out her camera enough and neither one of us thought about it I guess! However with a little of your magic I am sure that can be solved
