May 14th, 2011... In an effort to just start hiking already, we went up to Boulder and did this 5 1/2 mile hike. We wanted summer to be here and wanted to start hiking... well unfortunately it was about 40 degrees, windy, foggy, rainy... pretty much awful. But we are proud to say we did it anyway!
I was freezing before we even got started :(
Do I look cold?
The homestead:
Very pretty trail!
Some handsome hiker I picked up along the way:
My hair was getting wet by this point from all the fog and mist:
The fog descends upon us:
Some pretty flowers we saw:
We hiked about 5 1/2 miles... we think we went a little farther than we were supposed to, oops! But we had a great time and we were proud of ourselves for doing the whole hike despite the uncooperative weather. Hopefully many more hikes ahead of us this summer & fall!
You looked so cold! Snow on the ground in JUNE?!? But what a beautiful hiking spot!
