Summitville, Co

We took a family road trip to Southern Colorado. We met up with Ken's dad and two sisters in the San Luis Valley where Ken's dad was born and raised. We went on a tour of Summitville, which was an old mining town. Ken's dad lived there in the 1930-early 40's. It was a beautiful area and we loved the cooler temps. The town is located at about 11,000 ft. elev. between Del Norte and South Fork

As we were packing I told the kids to bring jackets and long pants, which we don't use between Apr and Oct. Think they thought I was kidding until we got on the mountain. Taylor shared his sentiments.
