With the nice weather we have had here in Colorado the past couple days, I decided to play hookie from work and go for a day hike. I did the Green Mountain trail in Boulder. 7 miles.

Couple patches of snow but NO postholing at all! It was packed. Wooo Hooo!

This lil fella flew in and landed next to me and circled me for a few minutes. I was about 2 feet from him. Think its a Grouse.

As you can see, the weather was nice.

I can't wait for the high country to be clear enough for dry trips.

We just moved to Boulder from Australia and we're slowly getting through the trails around Boulder. Green is definitely on the list for next weekend! How long did it take you? Looks great!

We've done Hogback Ridge, Sanitas, Redrocks and Flagstaff so far. May Point on Flagstaff was incredibly beautiful on a 70 degree winter day. Even got to see some deer and a raptor fly right over us.

Very nice. I stayed with a friend in Boulder for a few days this past summer and did a day hike up South Peak and Bear Peak. 72 degrees in February..wow!
