Hiking the Hayden Trail, with Potosi Peak and Weehawken valley of the Sneffels Range in the background.
We started my birthday off right this morning with a hike up Hayden Mountain, high above Ouray. We found a new ridge-route to an awesome overlook point that I never realized was there, despite having hiked up past here numerous times before. This is definitely now one of my favorite Ouray hikes, along with the Bridge of Heaven on the opposite side of Ouray.
We are excited to finally go backpacking again in a couple days – for a week long trek in the Weminuche – woohoo!
I thought about you today when I saw the date. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JACK! I’m guessing that this might just be the best one you have ever had!! You are 3 days older than my daughter-in-law, Johanna!!
Thanks Kit! 🙂
