A hike in the Rocky Mountains


Jen and I spent most of the day on Saturday hiking the mountains West of Boulder with our four dogs. It was a perfect day for a hike - 50 degrees and warm enough that the ice on the trail had turned to slush and the slush had turned to mud. I brought home two tired and very muddy dogs. After a bath, they crashed out in the livingroom and I was able to get some work done to prepare for the classes I'm teaching this semester.

Border Collies on a mission!

The brothers look very pretty together, how neat that they live by you. That looks like a great hike and the pictures are gorgous. Sage looks like a very happy dog on the hike.

What a great place to hike, well except maybe the mud. But nothing's perfect. Diana

I can't believe those trails were so dry on Sat. I'll have to give them a try on Friday. But I usually start at Chatauqua so maybe those aren't quite melted yet.
