Hiking in the Rocky Mountains

So, I have been busy lately.

Sometimes you get caught up in living, I guess. I was talking to my Mom and Pop the other day, telling them what I've been up to, and I realized that I never have a night when I'm not doing anything...or a weekend that I don't have plans.


So here's what I did two weekends ago.

Mike, Tony and I went the the Sneffels wilderness in the Rockies, and spent three days backpacking over the summit of Mt. Emma.

MARMOT!!!








It was a strenuous hike at 13,700ft. of elevation, which is alot for some one that lives in Scottsdale (not much higher than sea level...).

Pop, No problem glad you enjoyed them. I'll try to get some pictures of that last Prescott mountain bike trip.

Mom, Yeah it was amazing out there. I really enjoyed the feeling of being so far away from towns, or machines, or noise. It was so beautiful, and so peaceful.

Whew! That was a great trip. I'm ready for more. Alaska?

Tone, One trip at a time!!! Let's get through our difficult Mexican lounging trip before we plan an Alaskan trek. :)

Although, I wouldn't mind getting some Prescott rides/camping under our belts before we do another race...
