02-19-2011 - First Snowshoe Hike

My first snowshoe hike turned out fabulous - went with the Longmont Hiking Group - we went to Rocky Mountain National Park, met at Hollowell Park and hiked up towards Bierstadt Lake - I didn't make it to the Lake, but I made it to Millner Pass - the views were breathtaking and, even though I didn't make it the entire 6 miles roundtrip, I did make it 4 miles roundtrip - my muscles sure do ache today - it was WORTH IT!

Rocky Mountain National Park - SITES

Rocky Mountain National Park - again, one of my favorite places - I do volunteer work there in the summer - and I live close enough (about 30 miles) that I can go anytime I want to for hiking, camping, or wildlife viewing - in fact, I can see Longs Peak from my home - the Janet SCORES again!
