Today was one strenuous day but absolutely one of the most beautiful days in the Rocky evergreens I have ever seen. The snow was pristine, glistening brighter than diamonds, and hanging like giant puffballs from the limbs. Barb and I joined four of the Kili ladies (Diana, Eva, Martine, and Jane) snow shoeing on peak seven. I swear these ladies took off at a trot??!! We did a 3.5 hour loop ending at the Grand Lodge in the hot tub, thanks to Martine, soothing some aching muschles. Our lunch was at the Alleuja Hut!! Having just arrived at this altitude, Barb and I were breathless most of the 3.5 hours. It seemed harder than two of my triathlons put together. It was exhausting but fun . . . now that it is over!!!:) I think we were at 11,000+ feet at one point!!! Not nearly as high as 19,300 that we will experience next September. Baby steps, right??
