The End of an Era...We are Shutting Down the Messageboard

The messageboard is now in read-only mode and no new posts or topics can be created. We will leave the messageboard up for historical purposes, but you will not be able to make new posts or comment on existing ones.

We have started a Discord server and hope that you all will join us on there. Technology has changed over the years and maintaining the messageboard has become somewhat of a pain in the butt and Discord offers many features for users, the main one being a very polished mobile app.

We really hope you all will join us on Discord and think you will like the platform. Use the invite link below to join.

With my wife gone in Albuquerque for a couple of weeks, I decided to take the dogs on a longer hike closer to home... so I chose my favorite area near Boulder, the Indian Peaks Wilderness. Only 45 minutes from our new house (!), I think this area is great for landscapes in all seasons. Today I did the Pawnee Pass hike with two of my friends, and of course my two main hiking partners (my labs). The trail climbs to Lake Isabelle and then above, ultimately ending at the pass where you can look down towards Winter Park and Lake Granby. We ended up hiking 11-12 miles and climbing almost 3,000 vertical, to be rewarded with amazing views with virtually each step. Not as many wildflowers this year with the lack of moisture, but we managed to find a few... on to the pictures.

I'm surprised to see a bit of snow in sheltered spots after the lack of snow last year. Great pics as always!
