2009 Parental visit

My parents decided to visit the wild wild west; they visited Durango, CO our new home during the first few days of new year of 2009.

With concerns of exposing my parents to relatively higher altitudes while enduring physical exertion we decided to take my parents cross-country skiing, snowshoeing roughly (at 8000 feet) and end the trip with a bang by spending the night in a Yurt (at a mere 10500 feet.)


Day 1, cross-country skiing Vallecito Reservoir.

The area is beautiful for cross-country skiing (classic or skate skiing) My assumptions were to climitize the "sea-dwellers" with some easy skiiing.

At one point we saw an Eagle flying over the reservoir, a common site seen by regulars.

The reservoir is actually behind the models covered by snow.
