Climbing Up the Mountain

Hudson and I took Saturday and climbed up a mountain that overlooks the lake south of our city. And by overlooks, I mean drops 1500 feet almost straight down into the water. Hudson loved climbing on the rocks and I enjoyed fresh air and time with my oldest boy. Our city is at about 6000 feet above sea level and we climbed to the top of the mountain at just under 8000. Not bad for a five year old. Or a 31 year old. At the top, it got cold with some cloud cover and the wind whipping through us at 30 mph. Here's some shots of the ascent...

Hudson leads the way.




A break at 7600 feet. Our city is over Hud's shoulder.




The dropoff.




Hudson on top of the world! (or just 21,000 feet below it)




Coming down from the top.
