Too much ‘swim, bike, run’ makes K* a dull guy.

Woke early on Saturday to break up the routine with a hike – yep, back in the mountains.  That’s what I need.

Ash, Tom, my friend Matt & both dogs loaded up – destination: Horsetooth Rock in Fort Collins.  Been more than a year since I’ve hiked Horsetooth, so plugged the address in my iPhone.  An hour half later we parked Matt’s SUV off a dirt road within Lory State Park.  Technology – argh!  No Horsetooth this day.

Overcast & windy conditions wouldn’t stop Ro & Marty from enjoying 5 miles of off-leash freedom.  Well Gulch to Timber Trail, then SNOW!  A week before Spring, most folks are tired of all winter precip – but I can’t help smile anytime snow’s flying 🙂

Clouds lifted soon after, exposing an almost artist’s rendering of Horsetooth Reservoir.  Beautiful!

Showered & groomed again, spent the remainder of the weekend in Denver catching up with former NYC co-workers.  Miss my former NYC peeps but still LOVE LOVE my Colorado life! 🙂
