Horse Back Riding to the Ice Cave

Pretty drive up to the trail head for our horse back riding adventure

Alas more photos from this day will have to wait as James has them on the "real" camera.

Here are the ones I was able to capture



This crevice is the "ice" cave. Water would collect, freeze and then make the perfect refrigerator/freezer 

Our awesome guide Tony, entertains Danny's endless "would you rather" questions
Danny rode Cocoa, and I road Amigo

On the recommendation of our guide we then drove to the trail head of Piedra Falls

Did I mention it was an old fashioned dirt road?




Danny was feeling silly at the trail head parking lot














These fallen down cabins are the original pioneer cabins


National Historic Site
Debs School 1909 to 1959
Students attended during Summer for Grades 1-8
Current building was constructed in 1930

The owner of the store where we picked up the trail head for horse back riding, attended this school as a kid. Apparently it was left as is in 1959 and it has not changed at all. 


This was the ridge that our horse back riding tour followed
(See the beige line of rocks in the upper left corner, that ridge)

This is an artist colony and I thought this was the coolest building

Rest of the day was very low key as we were all feeling the need to just relax and put our feet up.
