Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

So I was itching for a Summit for 2015 and picked a close/easy one near our afternoon destination of Winter Park CO. It was just Ken and I with S&J. the only down fall is the trailhead is the same as the famed two 14ers Grays and Torreys and at 5:40am the place was PACKED. Ended up having to park on the side of the road. We took the main trail up and then right before the split in trails between the 2 peaks we hooked a right, but it was to far and ended up in a boulder field, sierra was not happy. we should have started up the mountain just after the water crossing where the GIANT cairn (pile of rocks) is.

Here is our track
https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=zg-snrdqJx-c.kDaSxf-V62aQ&usp=sharing

the totals for the day were: 5.4 miles RT, in 4h 46min with a elevation gain around 1,890ft. we had the summit all to our selves so we hung up there for almost an hour, it was a perfect summit Smile

ok what you all have been waiting for, cute huskies hiking!

great pics, Jenn.

Just found out my son turned down a job in Colorado because his then future wife was here, not there.


I asked if it wasworth it - he said emphatically "yeaj it was worth it. We can go to Colorado together!

"
My DIL is extremely atrhletic - she would definitely hike these mountains.

"Being the parent of a special-needs pet means living your life constantly poised on the edge of a double-edged sword. On the one hand, you become a fierce defender of the ways in which your little one is perfectly ordinary — all the things he or she can do that are just like what everybody else does. And yet, you never lose sight of how absolutely extraordinary that very ordinariness is, how difficult, remarkable and rewarding that fight to be 'just like everybody else' has been."  -Gwen Cooper, "Homer's Odyssey"
