Georgetown and Frisco

On Sunday morning, we drove up into the mountains. It was very cool to see the elevation change and we could definitely feel the pressure change in our ears (and an unopened bag of chips popped open!). We had some time before we could pick up our rental skis and check in at the hotel so we stopped in Georgetown (elevation 8,520 feet). We went to the visitor's center and walked into the cute little downtown area to do some shopping. Then we went to the wildlife viewing area and a lake that is home to a huge pond hockey tournament in February. They said they had 24 rinks set up on the lake! As we were leaving Georgetown, we saw some big horn sheep on the side of the road. Our next stop was Frisco (elevation 9,026 feet). We had lunch a great sandwich/breakfast shop and wandered the town for a while. Then we picked up our rentals (Kristen and Phil only) from a shop in town.
