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.
