Short Cross-Country Ski Hike Turned Into a Marathon Adventure - 2-26-2014


Annabelle, Joel, and I planned to go on a short cross country skiing hike today (Feb. 26, 2014) at Mueller State Park, but it ended up turning into a 5.5 hour marathon.  I can't tell you how many hills we climbed and how many times we fell in deep snow.  

We were able to get a phone signal and were on the phone with the park ranger as we got closer to the trail head and then to our car.

My socks were soaking wet and I don't think I've ever been this tired, but it was still so fun!  

Colorado is so beautiful!  Seeing all that beauty and being outdoors made it so worth it.  I bet I'll be feeling a bit achy in the morning.







Our trip was almost like Goofy's skiing adventure in the above video!
