More Snowshoeing

Febraury 20, 2010

I am so grateful for friends who will put up with me and my desire to go snowshoeing. My friend Jason is one of these people. Last weekend, we decided that since he hadn't gotten out into the snow yet this season (see...Jason is a skier...Amy is not...not yet anyways...) that I would take him snowshoeing. Because he was so nice to go with me--I think I owe him a ski date...I probably need to learn better first (I've only been once before...and I had fun--but honestly--I don't know what I'm doing!). So--I've made it a goal to maybe learn to ski in March if my leg is up for it (I think it is slowly getting stronger--I can almost run!).

Jason and I hit the trail called the Spruces and just kinda wandered around and enjoyed the snowfall. We had a great time away from they busy "city" life.

Some Aspen Trees (they look like they are dancing).

Me by the map of the cabins...we took the picture so we wouldn't get lost--wait--we didn't even use this map...

Jason was such a gentleman, he even carried my hiking pack with my avalanche shovel in it.

An outhouse that belonged to a cabin.

It was so peaceful. I love winter in the mountains--it just feels so quiet and relaxed.

Any friends out there want me to take them, I totally will! I love being in the outdoors. And thanks, Jason, for going with me!
