Hiking in Denver

Over Labor day weekend Tony, Deb, Diana and I went up to Mt. Evans in Denver, Colorado to do some hiking. On Sunday morning we drove as close as we could to basecamp which was still about 3 miles away and a few thousand feet below. We hiked up and into the Colorado woods quite literally. After setting up camp, building a nice fire and getting a good nights sleep we decided to do some more hiking. This time we opted to just go up a "little" hill next to our campsite.

The little hill turned out to be a few thousand feet tall and we nearly summitted Mt. Evans. Even though I say nearly what I really mean is that we did summit it. That is what I'm going to tell you, all of my friends, everyone I meet and every single one of my nieces, nephews, children, grandchildren, great grandchildren.

Oh did I mention that it was up hill in the snow both ways? Well it was.
