Oh, hey. Didn't see you there.

After traversing a sheer vertical climb (the last peg of a five mile hike), Alex and I finally tackled Buckskin Pass and enjoyed the truly spectacular views at the very peak of the mountain (pictured above). We slid down the snow and continued to tumble down the five mile return to Maroon Lake. With sore knees and feet, we collapsed into the car and returned home. Later on in the evening we were rewarded with delicious tapas and a spanking new episode of True Blood. 

Today we’re taking it easy — sleeping in and heading into town to stroll — although, another (easy) hike may still be in the cards. 

More after the jump.
