Sunday Church and a Snowy Range Tour

Zion Lutheran Church, Laramie, WY, was our church home last year and again this summer. It is a 152 mile round trip, but well worth it. Pastor Shawn Kumm is an excellent pastor as well as bible study leader.
After church we took an even longer way home via WY130. After a delicious lunch at the Old Corral Hotel & Steak House in Centennial, Wyoming, we continued on through the Snowy Range.

The sky was clear with temperatures in the 30's and wind gusts up to 40 mph at the top. Medicine Bow Peak at 12,013 feet is the highest peak in this mountain range. Amazingly, we can actually see the Snowy Range on most days out our dining room window, from over 80 miles away.

The turnout to Mirror Lake was closed due to a snow drift. Although the mountains in Colorado were rather dry of snow, there was plenty here.
Stopping at Lake Marie for a brisk walk, we continued on to WY230 through Riverside/Encampment and back to the Refuge.

We spent a week in Riverside a couple of years ago and had a wonderful time. Yall are a little cooler up there than we are here.
