Hiking in Denver

Submitted by Jacob Redding on Tue, 2007-09-04 22:04.

Over Labor day weekend Tony, Deb, Diana and I went up to Mt. Evans in Denver, Colorado to do some hiking. On Sunday morning we drove as close as we could to basecamp which was still about 3 miles away and a few thousand feet below. We hiked up and into the Colorado woods quite literally. After setting up camp, building a nice fire and getting a good nights sleep we decided to do some more hiking. This time we opted to just go up a "little" hill next to our campsite.

Hiking

Submitted by Jacob Redding on Tue, 2004-06-01 03:11.

Tina and I went on an overnight hike this weekend. Here are the details of the hike.
Bull of the Woods Wilderness area(pics)

  • Day 1
    • Start at the bull of the woods trailhead 550
    • Hike from 4300 feet to 5300 feet, bull of the woods lookout
    • Trail 558, mother lode trail
    • Trail 551 to Pansy Lake.
    • 4.26 miles
  • Day 2
    • Started at Pansy Lake trail 551
    • trail 548 started at elevation 4,000
    • Merged with trail 550 at elevation 5,000 feet
    • 3.22 miles

Although we didn't hike a great distance the change in elevation coupled with the amount of snow on the ground gave us both a good workout. All in all it was a good hike and I'd go back again.

Photos and updates

Again it has been quite some time since I last posted anything to this blog, so here come the updates (in Order, oldest to newest).

Chris Graduated!!!

A while back chris graduated from his training at the State prison, he is now an official Prison Guard and can officially kick your butt. Although he may look tough in his uniform he ain't that tough later that day I pinned him with one armed tied behind my back. He's such a wuss.

MY Birthday!!!

Honest I had a birthday and Tina threw me a surprise birthday party. Heck up until all these people starting pouring into the house i didn't even know I had a birthday coming. Well OK, I did. Tina got me tickets to see Primus, my sister bought me travel gear and a new backpack and my parents hooked me up with a REI gift certificate which I have already used! ;) 

Whitewater River Rafting

Yet another trip with the Outdoor program at Portland State University. This time I went on a whitewater rafting trip. It was a half day trip down the Clackamas river in Oregon, which is a mild timid river. The trip was so-so, not because of the trip leader but rather because of the tameness of the river. I've seen bigger rapids in my bathtub, ok not really but still. OH and just to freak my mom out, when we hit one of the rapids myself and another guy fell out of the boat. Him and I had to float through the rapids with just our lifejackets and a helmet to protect us. I'm pretty sure the other guy didn't enjoy that part but except for hitting my booty on a rock, I Loved IT!!!  Next time I'm forgetting the boat and just using my life jacket to hit the rapids, so much fun!

Spring Wedding

My cousin has met the man of her dreams and she married him. The ceremony was held this last friday and it was rather nice. Her new husband seems like a great guy and I am sure that they will lead a long and happy life together.
