Late Summer Road Trip - UT, CO, WY

September 2016 - We took a road trip through portions of Utah, Colorado, and Wyoming.  Beautiful States, visits with family members, and some wild animals!

First stop, Park City, Utah with Grandma and Grandma Mattson.  Chris and I mountain biked, Lindsey loved the pool time and a visit to the Olympic Village.

Enroute to Crested Butte, CO, we stopped for the afternoon in Fruita.  The climbing gym had scheduled a kids climbing class. 

We think Idaho is pretty special.  We now think very highly of Colorado and particularly Crested Butte.  Its a beautiful spot to chill for a week, no people, great trails, and good coffee shop!
