colorado #2

Friday, June 9th, 2006

This trip while we were in Colorado everyone seemed to be talking about this fantastic hike to a place called Hanging Lake just outside of Glenwood Springs. Carin told us it was great, then we met some guys on the trail up Quandry Peak who recommended it, so we had to do it, and it was really beautiful. Here are the photos. And a note of anger with myself: there are no photos from the Quandry hike because I FORGOT MY CAMERA! GRR!

Colorado stop

Tuesday, May 30th, 2006

Well, we stopped in Colorado to visit friends and climb some 14ers. We weren’t sure how conditions in the mountains would be, we heard reports there was a lot of snow still up there. Well, there was still a lot of snow but not enough to keep us from hiking up Mt. Sherman yesterday. Tomorrow we will try Quandry Peak before heading further north on our journey.

Stops along the way – KS

Ok, I guess there are not very many tourist attractions in the middle of Kansas so we had to stop at the 'World's Largest Hand-dug Well'. I mean, that is better than the largest buffalo statue. Check it out: well.jpg[Continue reading this entry]
