This past Labor Day weekend, Nikki and I went hiking at St. Mary’s Glacier with Tyson, Hannah, Tasha, Sean, Brian, and Kat. We had a great time, perfect weather, and amazing views. Okay, so it’s technically considered a ”permanent snow field” and not a glacier, but it was fun to go out and slide around on the snow. There were some people who brought their skis and poles, but that’s much more work than I’d want to do. I prefer lush snow and chair lifts! :)

Last Saturday, Nikki and I went hiking with Tyson, Sean and Tasha. We were in Boulder, CO again, but this time we hiked the Mount Sanitas trail. It was a tiring day because Sean, Tyson and I had hockey lessons earlier that morning and were playing hockey later that evening. So we ended up coming back down before reaching the top. But we made it pretty far, nonetheless. It was a gorgeous day; hardly a cloud in the sky and the temperature was great.

We recently went hiking at Chautauqua Park in Boulder. The park is beautiful and offers a lot of hiking trails. We decided to hike to Royal Arch, which is a cool rock formation shaped like… wait for it… an arch! The trail was about a mile long. The weather was great, the sun was shining and the air was crisp.
The higher we climbed, the cooler it got, and with just a little bit more to go before we got to the arch we encountered some icy trails. This definitely made our hike just a little more interesting. I was pretty much on my hands and knees crawling up the trail. Going down was a lot of fun. We squatted and used our shoes like skis and just slid down the trail.
We ended up hiking for about three hours - we were so tired! With all those calories burned we figured we had earned ourselves a big dinner. We stuffed ourselves with pizza and chocolate mousse from Pizza Colore in Boulder - so, sooo yummy! Tyson has a grand plan of us all hiking a different place each weekend this summer - we’ll see how that goes! :)

Nikki and I just got back from Phoenix a couple of weeks ago and I put the pictures up on
Flickr. You can see them
here. These pictures are of us hiking Camelback Mountain, which was a lot of fun.
