White Ranch - Snowshoeing

   Today, Nick and I went snowshoeing at White Ranch. We started at the bottom this time and did a 5 mile loop up Belcher Hill. Even though it was cloudy in the city, the weather was not terrible in the foothills. We even saw a little sun, but there is more snow on the way.

February Snowstorm

We have about 11 inches of snow in these pictures.









Golden Gate Canyon - Winter

    Last weekend, I attempted to go snowshoeing with Nick and a few friends. We went to Golden Gate Canyon State Park, which is a little outside of Golden, CO. We have gotten very little snow this year, so we did not need the snowshoes. It was a very windy day, but the sky was perfectly blue, and the sun kept us warm. We climbed up most of the way up Windy Peak. It got pretty chilly towards the top. The trail disappeared as the snow deepened, so we turned around. On days like this, I really think winter hiking may be my favorite.
