Camping at Ruedi Reservoir near Basalt

We took Independence Pass over to Aspen and continued westward to Basalt for some camping at Ruedi Reservoir. We had an ideal spot right on the water next to the Allbrittons.

 

The kids loved exploring the shore...

 

 Collecting snail shells and throwing rocks...

 

 And boating in what is the warmest water we have found in Colorado (maybe 70 degrees?!)

 

We had a blast....fresh air, swimming, and great friends.

(Here we are right before leaving...totally grungy and looking forward to showers at home!)
