The View from (almost) 14,000 Feet

Last Thursday, Jamey, Jared, and I hiked up Uncompahgre. We were probably 1/8th of a mile from the peak when the dark clouds moved in. We decided we better turn around and try again next year with an earlier start!



You can see the pointed peak in the background of this picture we took closer to the trailhead where we started.


Chipmunks Like Goldfish - Who Knew?

Moose Siting

One morning we went up to Deer Lakes outside Lake City to look for moose. We had a brief siting early and then stayed to fish,feed the chipmunks, and enjoy the beautiful scenery. I'm glad we stayed because we saw a moose! She came down from the woods, waded into the lake and ate for a long time.
