Hiking in The City

A visit to The City was kind of a "coming out party" after a summer of rehab for Spudboater's ankle that was broken in Lava Falls on a Grand Canyon river trip this summer. What could be a better "rehab graduation exercise" than a hike in The City?

Golden aspens along the winding trails.

Grand vistas in every direction.

Plenty of pluton to ponder.

Needles to thread...

...and narrow places to pass

Friends to share the grandeur...

of The City's many glorious views.

No matter where you look...

...there are many a scene to stir the soul.
