Saturday was a travel day as the group made its way back home. It was an amazing experience with a great group of travelers!
On Friday, the group had the opportunity to ride the lift at Glencoe Mountain Resort. Anyone who braved the ride could sled at the top. We then traveled to Glencoe Visitors Center, stopping along the way for some amazing photo ops. We checked into our last hotel in Stirling to prepare for heading home. We also celebrated a couple birthdays while on tour.
