Looking North to the La Plata's over Junction Creek
The view from the ridgeline behind my house. A couple hundred vertical foot scramble to the trail that traces the crest of the ridge. This is usually the first several minutes of any run that I do from my house.
To the left is Silver Mountain in the La Plata's, about 12,000 feet. I ran this mountain last year, bushwacking to the top from La Plata Canyon.
The view from the top of Animas Mountain, looking west over the cliffs.
To the left is another picture of Silver Mountain and Cumberland Mountain.
Shrek likes to prance around on the ledges above the Animas Valley.
View of the red rock along Missionary Ridge.
My training group, Sherpa and Shrek... who needs a coach and teammates when you have dogs?
Today is Friday at last... After tonight, 4 whole days off from work which will probably be spent running, sleeping, and watching movies. After multiple consecutive days on Sailing Hawks, I ran Animas City Mountain yesterday, catching glimpses of snow high in the La Plata's. Despite the wind and cooler temperatures, the sun kept the day warm and my jacket was left on the side of the trail just minutes into the run - shirtless in late October in Colorado - I'll take that with a smile!
