Ski Southeast Messageboard

So last weekend we made the trip down to Pikes (can see it from the house). Since we drove to the top, it cant be counted as doing a 14er.



An early morning hike on the ridge behind the house.





Soon after you pass the toll there are signs for wildlife everywhere.





Emily did NOT care for the ride up.





Castle Rock is out there somewhere...





Some EXTREEEME CLIMBING!





Even with her disdain for the drive, Emily wound up having a great time at the top.





OK, Some gratuitous mountain pics.













And some disheartening views as well. This is just one area of the burn from the Waldo Canyon fire.

Love these shots (minus the burns)! Would be more awesome with the white stuff LOL but nice TR

Beautiful pics!

How was the weather up top? It's been god awefully gross in the metro.

^^^ Maybe out your way.



I went riding yesterday afternoon (had the day off) and when I was driving home at 4:00, my car thermometer read 62 degrees.

Where did you go? Today wasn't as bad as it's been. We set another all time record for July. 27 days above 90 degrees, 7 days above 100 degrees.



I'm ready for it to be winter. I'm also ready to live closer to the foothills.

I rode Hall Ranch... until I was chased away by storms.

I feel you on being run off by storms. I went up to Ridgeline Open Space behind our neighborhood yesterday. As soon as i crossed to the west side of the ridge a storm cloud rolled in. Turned tail back towards the house, got to the top of our street and got pelted by pea sized hail.
