On the trail to Autumn
We got to do some cool things this week. On our day hike in RMNP autumn started showing its colors, we now have lots of yellow aspen trees that go nicely with the green conifers (and the brown ones compliments of the pine beetle). During the hike one group came face to face with a black bear on the trail only a few hundred feet from the parking lot. This time of the year, bears are stocking up on berries for the long winter.
After the hike we headed over to play at alluvial fan. This waterfall area has thousands of giant boulders deposited during the massive lawn lake flood in 1982.

We also received a special visit from Hans, Frans, and Schnitzel, you all know what they like and we would like to hear what you liked from your week.
And lastly, with all the crazy zipline action going on this week, we posted a video, so you can relive the experience. (Minus the screaming and freaking out)

Hi, I had a great time! The food was awesome. The six mile hike was a challenge but we got through it as a team. My favorite thing was the low ropes because it taught us how to work as a team. The zip line was awesome too. Thanks for having South Elementary.
