Poudre Canyon

March 18-20, 2011

This trip started out rocky.  The cabin we were supposed to stay in at State Forest State Park was completely buried in the snow.  We were not aware that the roads would not be plowed in the winter, so we had to make a quick change of plans.

We drove back down to lower elevation in Poudre Canyon and found this little cabin available.  It actually worked out better.  We were on a mission to see a moose and kept hearing that State Forest State Park was the best place in Colorado to spot one.  We must have drove up and down Cameron Pass 5 or 6 times, not to mention we drove all the way to Walden.

Finally, we had given up and driving back to the cabin I glanced towards the river and there he was.  We finally got to see a moose!  They are interesting creatures, so cool to look at.  Mission accomplished!
