I love hiking!!!


I've been in Colorado for a week now and I'm really loving it, although I'm missing my husband (he arrives tonight :) ).  On Monday, I drove up to Leadville, which took me about 2.5 hours but was so beautiful along the way.  But yesterday was such a good day - I hiked up to Royal Arch by myself after spending some time at the Denver REI store and having lunch with my daughter, Caitlin.  Because I was on the trail at about 1PM on a Thursday afternoon, there were very few people.  I've hiked in Boulder before, but usually on a Saturday, which has been packed.  Being out there alone was so peaceful and relaxing.  I took almost 70 pictures in a 2 hour period, but it still did not capture the beauty.  My legs are a bit sore today due to all the climbing, but it's a good sore.  I really felt so healthy up there yesterday - it's so good to feel that, as I come up to my 4 year survival anniversary.  Life is SO good!
