I didn't know when we woke up in the hotel on Day 3 that my soul was about to be forever changed. .
.
The snow had subsided and we woke to the most beautiful scenery and beautiful blue skies. We got ready and loaded back up in the van- with clean dishes! 😂 Sorry Super 8. .
.
Our first destination was the Dillon district ranger station of WRNF. We wanted to figure out if any of the areas we had marked to camp were still open thanks to the snow. The rangers were awesome despite all our options being closed. They gave us an "unofficial" recommendation of where to sleep and we were off to explore. .
.
As we drove across the dam of Lake Dillon for the first time, I could feel every little beat of my heart as it grew full. We pulled off at a parking area and jumped out as quickly as possible to race down to shore. .
.
In that moment, staring at the mountains in every direction, I knew my soul had found its home. We hiked to the campground that was closed for the season and up and down the shore until our stomachs growled .
.
We went in search of a place to cook (I swear we did more than find spots to cook and eat😂) and found a trailhead just outside of Frisco that was perfect for just that. .
.
After some food and some lounging and exploring near the trailhead, we headed into the actual town of Frisco for the first time. We spent time exploring all the amazing shops and learning about the wasailing event that was happening. We had lucked out by finding parking right downtown next to a public restroom that was always open! .
.
As sunset inched closer, we realized how beautiful it would be and raced back to the lake shore just in time to watch one of the most beautiful sunsets of my life. My heart grew to almost bursting. . .
We spent the rest of the night exploring Frisco from one end to another as the holiday lights came on and lit up the little mountain town❤
.
.
We took advantage of the restrooms before heading to the place the rangers recommend for sleep. It was cold, but we would find out that was nothing by morning. ❄
