antero

for the longest time dallas and i have been putting off hiking antero.  it's a long hike up a boring jeep road.  we decided to try and tackle it this past week.  long story short we didn't end up making summit,but we did get to around 13,000.  even though we didn't get it, it was a good workout (6ish hrs of snowshoeing is quite enough for one day, thank you).  blogger is having difficulties but hopefully you can figure out the captions!

"antero1":  there is a speck up there amongst the tress that is dallas snowshoeing.  it was super nice to follow tracks and have a bit of the work taken out of it for me. 

antero 2:  dallas stands in front of mt white...antero's neighbor

antero 3:  we left denver around 5am.  coming over the hills to fall into buena vista's valley.  the large mtn in the middle is princeton.  antero is to the left.

antero4:  we stashed our snowshoes at tree line to hike up.  when we came back for them there was ironically a snowshoe bunny next to them.  they are super rare to see.  he was a beautiful little guy. i know i probably shouldn't have fed him a triscuit but i couldn't help myself.
