Hot Springs are amazing at night, but we had too many other things to enjoy during the day! First off was mountain biking! Leanne, Dad, Kaden and I all rented mountain bikes and hit the trails. The trails were exceptionally hard so to prevent massive head injuries and bodily harm we did have to walk some of it, but it was all worth it for the amazing views!

Afterword we took a break in the cabin. Mom made tons of food, enough to feed an army! Kaden and I built rock structures and played cards.

Next stop was horseback riding! Leanne, Kaden and I got saddled up and hit the trails with a local guide. Kaden’s horse was very well behaved. Aliya’s was great except her horse’s butt kept getting itchy! Every time we passed a stretchable tree, her horse went for it. Leanne’s horse was very naughty and took many snack attack breaks. My horse was excellent and I felt like was playing Red Dead Redemption the whole time. The experience was actually quite meditative.

We ended the night with more hot springs! Dad, Leanne and I did hot springs yoga. We also just passed the time in the hot springs right next to the cold creek. There is nothing quite like soaking in naturally hot water while the cold Colorado mountain air breezes along.
