Seven Falls







A very fun day today! We took a drive up to Colorado Springs and went to see the 7 falls. Part of the trails are blocked off in the winter time but we still got to see plenty! It started snowing as soon as we got there too it was great!

Mule deer in the road!

I loved this little place at the bottom of the mountain.
The mountain elevator. Dad and I took the elevator the first time, Ashley and Brian rode down with us.
Then on the other part of the mountain there was not an elevator to climb, we had to climb these stairs! It was pretty scary.
This was from the store at the bottom of the mountain
Another view of the tunnel through the mountain to get to the elevator.

Steep and slick!





Once we got to the bottom of the stairs FINALLY (after I climbed down them backwards because I didn't want to slide down) they had closed down the mountain with us on it! I guess the snow got bad enough that they had to. The rest of the place was still open though. It was pretty scary going down. The stairs were made of metal and they weren't very thick stairs at all! Brian was the most afraid going down :)
