While driving into the mountains over the weekend, a detour brought us to Georgetown Lake. While we normally drive past this lake as we travel to ski towns or hiking trails, we couldn’t help but stop to view cars racing on the surface of the frozen lake. We let our dog out to run on the ice and snow, and the excursion turned out to be a great spot for a mini photoshoot!

We wanted to bring our dog, Bear to the mountains to give him a day to play in the snow.

Bear was so excited the second he got onto the snowy lake.

Just beyond the Lake, Historic Georgetown offers museums, restaurants, and shops. The Georgetown Loop Railroad is a fun family-friendly activity for those looking for things to do. I haven’t spent time in the town yet, but I’m definitely putting Georgetown on my list for weekend activities in Colorado.
