Lime Mesa - dos in 2009

Since Lime Mesa is a fun, easy, high-country hike we took the parents to the route on Sunday. Here we stand right before entering the Weminuche Wilderness. Be sure to click on any image for the larger pic.

On the way to the look out is a very clear glacier lake. Tyler caught me on camera.

Dave, trekking up the route. If there were mountain lions nearby he may have been our bait.

But thankfully, there was a herd of free range sheep moving through the high-country. I am sure the mountain lions were focused on those meals.


Two more glacier lakes, Ruby and Emerald from the look out. I really want to camp out at Emerald (the lake to the right)

And of course the short video of the event. The wind was amazing. You will notice us talking but all you hear is whooosh. I am really considering buying a HD video camera.





Next weekend, Tyler and I need to get back into a serious routine preparing for a mountain bike endurance race. The 2009 24 hours at Moab. We have roughly 2 months before the race. Stand by for pics and our training schedule.

  1. The wind was so strong it took Rebecca's hood and inflated it a bit. The kids commented that it made her look like Kenny from SouthPark.

    By, the way, the cartoon SouthPark does is an actual city in Co. It is approximately 3.5 hours from Durango.
