i made another trip up to Rocky Mountain National Park. i have a little free time in the middle of the week. i maybe should use it for studying... or exploring the area! the mountains are amazing. being from
utah, i always thought our mountains were far superior to the Rockies- who needed those when you have the
wasatch? uh, that was before i saw the
rockies. these mountains are beautiful, huge, and look different every time i go. they may have
something over the
wasatch.
This week i went with my new friend
Joie, her husband Richard and his cousin Darren (visiting from
utah). I met
joie and
richard at church, and
joie is in my program at school. they moved out
here a few weeks before me from Phoenix, and love to travel. kindred spirits!
we did a little hike up to some lakes (we saw 3), it was
a hike that would be so easy at 5,00o ft., but at 9,000ft. i got a tad bit winded. i wonder if
i'll ever get used to the altitude. we got stuck in a little hail storm on the way down, wasn't really
expecting that.
we also drove the "highest paved road in north
america" at 14,000 ft. it's cold and windy, but very pretty.
here i am, trying to stand straight in the wind (that's the excuse
i'm giving for my retarded pose), at 14,000 ft. come visit-
i'll take you there too.
