Finally after snowshoeing with my friends (and no Ian!) a few times, Ian thought that looked like fun and he wanted to give it a try too! We went together April 30th... it was my 4th time and his first :) He ended up really liking it!
For those who are local, we were up in Rocky Mountain National Park and started at the Sprague Lake trailhead :)
(Ian all geared up and ready to go on a beautiful day!)
(The trail! No other foot/snowshoe traffic that day, just a lonely skiier)
(Happy Snowshoers)

(Our snowshoes- I purchased my white ones but he borrowed his from a friend)
On our way back, snow started falling all around us! It was so pretty but much colder and windier... we enjoyed it though!
We stopped for a few breaks here and there (and of course, to take photos) but we moved along pretty good and did about 2 1/2 miles in 2 hours. I am so happy Ian gave this a try and liked it! We enjoy hiking in the summer so much, and this gives us a great way to get outdoors in the winter.
