It was a busy end of the week.\u00a0 I climbed Huron Peak on Saturday – details coming below; but\u00a0 my college adviser (Kathy) and her husband (John) stayed on Sunday and Monday night with us.\u00a0 We had a great time with them and their 3 little dogs.\u00a0 We went to eat, went on hikes, and even did yoga.\u00a0 Once of their dogs is very\u00a0dexterous and can jump 4 feet in the air.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Also, the dogs both got summer haircuts.\u00a0 Darby is really soft and Izzy looks like Simba from the Lion King.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On Saturday, I drove to Winfield which is an old mining ghost town deep in the mountains.\u00a0 It happens also to be the turn around point for the Leadville 100 race so I’m very familiar with the area.\u00a0 I wanted to climb Huron Peak.\u00a0 The picture below is the mountain which was actually taken on my way to hike La Plata yesterday.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The trail follows a 4wd road for 2.5 miles then turns into a single track that winds up a canyon.\u00a0 \u00a0The peaks in the background are the “Three\u00a0Apostles”.\u00a0 Huron is to the left hidden by the ridge I’m circling around.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Once you top the ridge, it’s a large bowl that you slowly climb up.\u00a0 There are well-graded switch-backs climb the ridge.\u00a0 It was a beautiful day and I moved quickly to the summit<\/p>\n

\"\" \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The views are incredible from the top<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The view with a little Google magic<\/p>\n
