Bergen Peak(Repeater), Evergreen CO hiked 5/24/14
The snow is still plentiful all over the mountains and frankly I didn’t feel like dealing with it last weekend but I really wanted to get close to 10,000 ft high. Plus I have been feeling sadly out of shape so I picked my favorite standby, Bergen Peak (Hike Details here). The day was actuallyContinue reading “Bergen Peak(Repeater), Evergreen CO hiked 5/24/14”
Spring Break hiking 3/1- 3/6/14 All Repeaters
When my nieces came to visit me last year, their one request was more hiking. I honestly had no idea they would like it as much as they did. I wanted to get them out as much as possible while still giving them a break from school. I had grand plans, hike 3/1, snowshoe 3/2,Continue reading “Spring Break hiking 3/1- 3/6/14 All Repeaters”
My hiking adventures on 1/18 & 1/19/14
My one goal this past weekend was just to make it above 9000Ft on our hike. I had wanted to hit a new trail and then we got on I70 going west on a Saturday morning. It was a parking lot even before Evergreen which is pretty bad. With the traffic nightmare ahead of us,Continue reading “My hiking adventures on 1/18 & 1/19/14”
Evergreen Mountain – 3 Sisters Adlefer, Evergreen CO Hiked 1/11/14 & Mt. Hikingtohealthy done 1/12/14
The weather has been questionable lately and on Friday, high wind warnings were given to any place above 6000 Ft, which just about everywhere on the front range. Hiking in high winds is not fun especially when the warnings are for 80+ mile an hour winds at times. With this new little wrinkle thrownContinue reading “Evergreen Mountain – 3 Sisters Adlefer, Evergreen CO Hiked 1/11/14 & Mt. Hikingtohealthy done 1/12/14”
Evergreen Mountain, Evergreen CO (Repeater) Girls Hike #3, hiked 10/20/13
I love a weekend where I get to hike twice and I super love hikes with my girlfriends! This particular weekend was extra great because both happened! I am such a lucky girl! I woke up early Sunday all excited for my girlfriend hike and then got my second cancellation… but that still left meContinue reading “Evergreen Mountain, Evergreen CO (Repeater) Girls Hike #3, hiked 10/20/13”
Bergen Peak, Evergreen CO (Repeater) Hiked 10/19/13
I have become obsessed with 14ers.com and their facebook page. Reading all the trip reports and seeing the excellent pictures of those incredible people climbing 14ers with like 3 feet of snow already fallen up that high, well it makes me feel pretty wimpy! It has also given me some insight as to how quicklyContinue reading “Bergen Peak, Evergreen CO (Repeater) Hiked 10/19/13”
Bergen Peak Trail, Elk Meadow Open space *AGAIN* 4/20/13
This week has been tough on so many levels for so many reasons and I know I am not the only one struggling to find balance and meaning. I can tell you that the only thing on our minds yesterday was getting out hiking and getting as high as we could (altitude wise of course),Continue reading “Bergen Peak Trail, Elk Meadow Open space *AGAIN* 4/20/13”
Bergen Peak Trail + – Elk Meadow Jefferson County Open Space 4/6/13
I am on cloud 9, seriously 50 pounds lost on my weigh in yesterday and then today we kicked major butt on our hike. We did Bergen Peak last August and to be honest it was insanely tough then, like I was practically in tears on the way down thinking “why the hell did IContinue reading “Bergen Peak Trail + – Elk Meadow Jefferson County Open Space 4/6/13”
