Today we went up aspen mountain and had a picnic at the top of the mountain. Then when we we're going to come down by gondola there was a big thunderstorm that had us waiting at the top for 2 hours. Once we got down we ran to catch our bus so we could have dinner.

At 10 am we left Dave and Ali house to go see wildlife in the Maroon Bells sadly we we're disappointed and only saw a marmot on a rock in the distance. Apart from that we went on a nice self guided tour of the lake. After lunch we went in to town did some clothes shopping and then we went to the supermarket to get food for dinner. While we we're shopping we noticed that all the streets in aspen have a little river running through them.

Today we went from aspen to taos it is a long 6 and a half hour drive (412km)along the way we reached heights of 12,000 ft thats around 3 500m but google it to check. I think today we went as high as Mount Cook but check that one too. Once we crossed the border between colorado and new mexico, we we're greeted by a nice big loud thunder storm and then when we got to taos we we welcomed by hail and lots of lightning and thunder. We also walked over the rio grande river/canyon.

Thank you Dave, Ali, Morgan and Devon for having us stay.:D
