High Mountain FUN








********************************Dad, Mom & Jaden decided it was time to take a 'REAL' mountain hike - not just the daily hikes in the foothills that Mom and Jaden take.

So we headed up to Brainard Lake area, the start of many of our longggg training runs in the past few years.

On Sun am it was cold and rainy and just plain yucky in Boulder. However the clouds wete low in the sky - and although Mom worried it was rainy up high - Dad indicated he knew otherwise (checking some high mtn cams likely helped!!!)

Off we went - after 30 min of prep at least.. takes much longer to head out the door these days..

Beautiful blue sky appeared behind the clouds as we made our way up. What fun!!!

Jaden, Mom and Dad completed a 6 mile hike, along with 2 nursing breaks along the way. Jaden got to 11,000 feet ! Wow, what a mountain girl!!

The altitude made Jaden very sleepy!! Take a look at this relaxed girl!!
