My 4 day Thanksgicing weekend wasn't as relaxing as I would have liked, so I took Thurs & Fri off this week too to try it again! There was rain in the forecast for today, but I wanted to go anyways. Paula & Harlan decided to join me. We hiked up the east ridge to Cheyenne Mountain, then traversed the ridge to the northern terminus and hiked/jogged/scampered the trails back to the park. This is just what I needed!!! Thanks for joining me!
