camping near the Alta Lakes

 Last week we loaded up the 4Runner with dogs, camping gear and some firewood and headed up towards Alta Lakes just outside of Telluride. We made it to the campsite in time to catch some good views of the Wilson Mountain Range.

We don't camp at the lake as the dogs love the water... we had gotten a late start so the last thing we needed was wet pups in a small tent. We got a fire started and cracked a bottle of sulfite free wine.

 

Dinner for the evening was made via our Jet Boil. Hot water added to a Backpacker's Pantry pouch along with a can of chicken was ready in around 20 minutes. 

Simple and tasty- while they don't certify gluten free they do list allergens. We had the Chana Masala with rice and garbanzo beans.
