After being on the road for 16 hours we finally arrived in Creede around 8 a.m.. Stopping to have breakfast at the only restaurant, it really hit the spot and helped wake us up a little. Then we headed on into the valley, this is what we saw as we rounded the corner, to a flat-lander this looks pretty good. 
BUT...

Rounding a couple more corners (about 8 miles) we finally see what we really came for, REAL trees.

After setting up the tent and the rest of the camp we climbed into the jeep and headed out on a short sight seeing trip. The rain had just passed, (it rains here almost everday) so the rainbow made a good picture.

While taking a picture of the rainbow I had a feeling of being watched. Turning around and scanning the tree-line for a bit, there he was just stand there watching. It was like he was waiting to be photographed, so I obliged him! I tried to get closer but he wouldn't have any of that.
