Heather and I loaded up the Toyota 4runner (it still needs a good name…) and headed up to the Fall River Road area to look for somewhere nice to make dinner. We went up the road toward Chinns Lake and almost got to the lake itself before running into a big wall of snow. After turning around, we headed back down to another spur of the road that goes to Fall River Reservoir. It was a wonderful place to cook dinner.
Making some sausages on the grill next to the spillway below the dam.
Now we’re cooking!
Not a bad place for dinner.

After the sun set behind the mountain, it got a bit chillier. We packed up and got ready to head down the hill.
Instead of going straight back to Golden, we took a detour through Alice and St Mary’s Glacier to go up and over Yankee Hill. We got up to the top of the first hill climb just after the sun had sunk behind the mountains.
Looking in the general direction of Kingston Peak.
Big mountains on the continental divide in the distance.
My truck sure does look great!
I think that’s Mount Evans on the left.
The nearly full moon rising over the plains.
Up on top of Yankee Hill.
Looking south. This would be a great place to camp!
LET THERE BE LIGHT! The light bar on my roof is amazingly bright.
Airing up the truck after a great evening of 4x4ing. These long early summer evenings are great!
