Varda Family Memories...: Southern Colorado Camping

After Telluride, we travled on to Ourady, Silverton, and Durango. We camped at a beautiful lake outside of Silverton, CO. We realized that we had million dollar real estate at this spot we found. We are sure that there was not a more beautiful view to be had those days! Check out how the sky is reflected in the water.

In this picture, Daddy and Olivia are out for some twilight fishing. Daddy took her fishing at least 5 times on this trip. He is patient and such a great teacher!

This is the view from our camper. Literally, this is what we woke up to each day. Stunning.

Here is the view of our camper, nestled in the trees. A beautiful spot!

This was an easy little walk around the lake - perfect for a three year old (and a mama carrying a baby while trying to take pictures!)

Sometimes a hike just ends up with some time huddled in an outhouse! What? That's right...we attempted a hike on the Colorado Trail, just a short trip down the hill from our campsite, but typical of Colorado afternoons, a thunderstorm built up and starting lightning, hailing, and raining on us before we could make it back to the camper! To get out of the rain and hail, we took cover in the only thing we could find - this facility! A woman who came to use it as the rain let up thought it was so funny that she insisted on taking a picture of us. She said we would love the memory down the road. She is right - this was a pretty exciting adventure!
