We were graciously hosted by Darlene and Chuck Kroll at their condo in the mountains near Silverthorn . With snow covered peaks surrounding us, we took in the beauty of the region and did a little driving, a little hiking, and a little sitting by the fire with a book!
Breckingridge and Vail were not too far away and we explored them also, but because it wasn’t winter for skiing, or summer for biking and hiking, most everything was closed for Mud Season; the time when the ground is just soggy with the snowmelt and spring rains.
I mean to tell you that shops, restaurants, and some roads were closed up tight! So I had to spend time at the Outlets, darn.
