Don and I went on a big hike today. The trailhead was south of Breckenridge up to Mohawk Lake and the Continental Falls. It was a beautiful day and the scenery was just gorgeous. When selecting the trail, Don was a little hesitant about the 6.8 miles but I assured him that Maggie and I have been walking all summer so we were up for it. Ok....I forgot about the uphill factor and of course the 9,000 ft. altitude! There were parts of this hike that I could have used some oxygen and maybe a mule! But we made it to the lake and the spectacular Falls and of course it was worth it! Hiking in the mountains makes me appreciate the beauty of our state and I wish we could do it more often. Now, if only I could make it up the stairs I could go to bed......
