Cripple Creek and Cache Meadow

We were surprised to see another vehicle at the crossing point on 4635 Approaching the 4635-140 spur road on the Cripple Creek trail Cripple Creek trail was VERY wet - running water on a lot of it. The confusing junction of trails where the Cripple Creek and Cache Meadow trails intersect Lots of trail signs where Cripple Creek and Cache Meadow trails intersect Old trail sign where Cripple Creek and Cache Meadow trails intersect A small creek we crossed on the Cache Meadow trail One of the (very wet) meadows at Cache Meadow There was LOTS of running water on the Cache Meadow trail There was LOTS of running water on the Cache Meadow trail There was LOTS of running water on the Cache Meadow trail Snow started getting deeper on the Cache Meadow trail Thor was having fun on the snow on the Cache Meadow trail The trail went thru here somewhere - Cache Meadow trail Another of the meadows on the Cache Meadow trail - this was more of a pond this time of year Showing how much snow was still around at Cache Meadow in places Another of the meadows at Cache Meadow The snow kept getting deeper on the Cache Meadow trail Another of the meadows at Cache Meadow There was literally a river of water coming down the Cache Meadow trail in most places Sign at Cache Meadow - there used to be a cabin near here. Another of the meadows at Cache Meadow We were trying to figure a way thru all the water to head back down the cripple creek trail and Thor just wanted to play on the snow Cripple Creek Lake on "Trail X" Raffts on Cripple Creek Lake on "Trail X" Cripple Creek Lake on "Trail X" Campsite along Cripple Creek Lake on "Trail X" Cripple Creek Lake on "Trail X" Another runoff creek crossing on "Trail X" This is the junction of "Trail X" and the Cache Meadow trail I thought this was kind of a cool shot of snow below a rockfield.
