Driving home over Independence Pass

Meredith and Tim gave us a gift certif. to Avalanche Ranch and we had a wonderful time.  We drove to Rifle and played golf, spent the night in Glenwood Springs, and drove on to Redstone and Avalanche Ranch.  Redstone is a beautiful little town with lots of beautiful scenery.  We decided to hike to Crystal Mill so we could take our time and it was a great hike along the Crystal River to the mill and on to the small cabin village of Crystal.  It took us about 5 hours and was about 11 miles.  We went to the local bbq place (great) and then finished the day at the hot springs and sat out by the river.  We drove home thru Aspen and Snowmass and came home over Independence Pass.  What a wonderful staycation!!
