Other Wanderings
We visited the Eiseman Hut north of Vail in January. It was a banner snow year, especially in early season, as is shown by the buried hut! | A beautiful end to a beautiful day. |
Looking for a new challenge, Chris took on the a race in Aspen called "Americas Uphill". You can use skis or snowshoes. Here he nears the end for the big 3200 foot climb. | In early April, we paid a visit out to Eastern Utah and an area called the San Rafael Swell. It has great slot canyons and we did a great hike linking a couple of them. Sharon had to slosh through some watery spots which was a fun experience. |
Ah, we need a fix of Utah each year! | Here's a view of a section of the Swell called the Reef with snow capped La Sal mountains off in the distance. |
On the edge of the Swell is Goblin Valley State Park. A cool place where a layer of mud has eroded beneath a layer of sandstone to make lots of pilars across a valley. It is a great place to just go in and wander about. | |
