Yesterday I joined along on another hike with the Canadian spouses hiking group. This time we were tackling the Catamount Trail. The trail head was located next to the tiny mountain cottage town of Green Mountain Falls, which was like a trip back in time. We had to hike from the park in town up the road to the trail head, which was in and of itself a challenging uphill trek! I was completely out of breath by the time we reached the beginning of the trail. It was a rocky ascent composed of many switchbacks up the side of the mountain to a lookout over the town. From there the trail continued up the hill, then through a meadow-ish area, then up along a stream, and to a large reservoir with some great views of Pike's Peak. It was a challenging, yet very enjoyable hike!

The liquor store looks like a gingerbread house and your four foot protector looks like he is ready for bear. Great sunny day but I guess most days are like that. Looking forward to the skiing blog :)
