Snowshoeing in the Rockies ............................. Priceless


Alexis, Buckeye and I were on the road at 7:30 this morning to meet her cousin and his wife to go snowshoeing. We spent nearly 3 hours just getting to our final destination. Unfortunately the Rocky Mountain National Park did not allow dogs on the trails so we headed down the Roosevelt National Forest. I was not expecting the type of work it took to show shoe. After a short hike we headed back to the car. It was a great first day in the Rockies... but boy were we all tired once we got back to the apartment.
