High Altitude

colorado-8182
Snow Mountain Ranch is at almost 9000 ft. altitude so I really needed to get acclimated. I went on a quick hike up 9 Mile trail with Edward which wasn't really 9 miles.

The aspen trees were cool.

The next day Bridget & I spent a couple of hours in Hot Sulpher Springs soaking in some minerals. Then I somewhat negated the effects with a 2.5 hour hike with the girls up to a waterfall wearing bad sandals, ie. no cushion. Live and learn is what I always say! John & Edward went to see the Colorado Rockies play in Denver.

The long hike was worth it for this pic however!
