Snowshoe 2

Getting our snowshoes on - it was snowing and cold…just what we wanted!

Seth and Austin ready to get out there

Crystal and Brandton coming up the trail

Ezra and Aaron gazing over the frozen lake


You know the snow is deep when you have to dig down to find the trail signs

Colvin (yellow) and Austin


Baxter (red) and Seth (in the black)

When you see a big rock covered in snow…it is required that you climb it

Behold "Snow"

The troop hiking up the trail

Snow-cave time (Ezra, Colvin, Landon)

Colvin and Landon chipping away

Seth snug as a bug in his self made Snow-cave

Ezra jumping in to Seth's Snow-cave to check it out

You know it's a big Snow-cave if Ezra or Seth can fit in it

Our Snow-cave champion!

Deklan checking it out

Colvin decided he wanted his cave to collapse on him (look carefully and you can see his feet)

Colvin digging out

So we are on a big rock with lots of deep snow all around…should we jump?

The landing area

Deklan launching off the rock...

Kyle coming in for a landing

From a different angle…Deklan in mid-flight

Red Feather Lakes Winter Campout

Bishop's sweet tent (that the leader's had the privilege of using).

Strong men setting up camp.

Camp set up and ready to go.

What is it about boys climbing on rocks?  We just can't get enough of them.

What happens when you get to close to the edge of the ice?  If you are not sure just ask Ezra, he can fill you in on the details (hint: you end up being wet and cold).

Just chillin'.

Striking a pose on some rocks.

Is that a hockey stick or a gun?  The scouts seemed to be a little confused.

Relaxing on the rocks.

Deklan taking in some alone time.
Quite the view...

Elias, EJ, and Bishop

Colvin warming up by the fire.

Trying to get warm in the morning.

Breakfast prep.





Trecking across the lake

So it was a little freaky walking on the ice especially when it was clear and you could see the water below (even though it was over a foot thick).
Bishop taking a closer look at the ice.

Finishing it up with some ice hockey.
