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.
