Independence Day Weekend in the Flat Tops
This weekend Amanda and I headed up into the Flat Tops to explore an area we hadn't been to yet. We started in Dotsero and headed up Coffee Pot Road, following a number of side roads to see where they went. We made a large loop that brought us next to the Flat Tops Wilderness area and to Adam's Lake, before making our way back to Heart Lake. We setup camp on the shore of Bison Lake for the night. The next morning we checked out the Grizzly Jeep Trail and then made our way down to Glenwood Springs via the Transfer Trail. Here's a few photos from the weekend.

Big storm cloud rolling it. It rained for a little bit until this cloud blew over

The Jack Springs Road ended at a nice overlook, where we stopped for lunch.

Bison Lake...if you look closely you can see our camp.
Tiles of rock I came across while out searching for a geocache near camp.

We made it back home with plenty of time to grab some dinner before heading out to watch the fireworks show on Sunday night. It was another good weekend, and we were happy to find that this area was not as crowded as some others we have gone to on the 4th of July weekends of the past. We will definitely be back to explore some more!

very pretty country up there and some great photography there! Love the tile rocks shot. Was that a shower set up in the camp with the green standing tent? Pretty cool.
Two wheels are better than four, keep the rubber side down.
