First hike of the season!






Even though I go to a trainer once a week, and even though we just got back from a fantastic adventure-packed honeymoon, the first mountain of the season kicked both our asses.  Our choice was Bison Peak, a 12,000 foot beauty that features a summit made of rolling grassy tundra and giant granite boulders stacked atop each other.  Because Bison Peak is at a lower elevation than the 14ers we've climbed before, it was warmer at the top and we were able to spend some time up there.  Don't worry that it wasn't just as hard of a climb, though -- the trailhead was also much lower than a 14er, so the climb was about the same.  Here's some of the highlights.
