The first hike was up in Boulder outside of NCAR. I went up with Leigh and Adam and his task master of a dog, Junior. This hike wore me out badly, we went a bit longer than we originally planned (though we didn't really plan...problem #1) but I still had a blast.
Second hike was in Deer Creek Canyon and was super close to home. I did this one with some new friends: Ed(from Fitocracy), John and Liz. I ended up not taking any pictures but that doesn't diminish the beauty of the area. I plan to go back and I'll be taking tons of pictures when I do. It was a short hike only around 3 miles, but at least I didn't die like I did with #1.
The third hike I did by myself. I've never done a hike by myself before but I've always seen people on the trail by themselves so I figured I would give it a shot. Wow what an experience! You get to take the time to chase butterflies, talk with chipmunks, and just stop and watch the trees blow in the breeze. I had a wonderful time and didn't really see anyone on the trail. It was 11 miles which ended up hurting my feet (grabbed the wrong socks and got 2 blisters on each foot) in the end though I loved it and will be going out again as soon as I can. Hopefully I'll hit something this weekend, even if it isn't a long hike (11 miles was pretty long for me right now) but just to get out, be moving, and enjoy that fresh air!
