For some reason, had the urge to go hiking today, however did not plan on the
magnitude of trip that Indy and I had! At the last minute I decided that we needed to go hiking today, so off we went. Our first thoughts were to check out Squaw Mountain Ski Resort (that is set to reopen this year) which is outside of Idaho Springs, and not far from Echo Lake. So up we went. We got to Echo Lake looked at each other and decided to be adventurous, so up Mt Evans we went! Ok, so we were able to drive most of the way (which mind you, is scarier than Trail Ridge Road), and then we parked the car and only 
had a few hundred feet to summit Mt Evans! So we cheated! Oh well, it was BEAUTIFUL up there! I hope that you enjoy our pictures we had fun, but one of us was little unprepared and discovered really quickly that it was chilly, so once we committed, there was only a few minutes for some pictures and then back down, since the someone forgot his jacket!
