As usual, we never prepare - so for our first hike of the year why not try an 8-mile with steep inclines and switchbacks? Clearly a good choice. Then, follow it up with some hail/snow storms and we're set :)
Hiking on the ledge - insane!
Chicago Creek
We've got a long way to go!
Entrance to the next part of our journey, time to cool off!
Idaho Springs Reservoir
Snazzy Beau
You can see the fishies - that's how clear it is!
Through the burned down area - that oddly still has all the burnt trees surrounded by new flowers - cool sight.
Finally made it to Chicago Lake!
Cool finds!
Thristy?
Pre-pull tab cans!
The pics can't even show how amazing these views were!
Sweet socks and Flying Dog poncho!
