Anniversary

We celebrated our 11th Anniversary this summer - Wow! We decided to do the Incline, for those of you that are not from Colorado the Incline is One Mile up, gaining 2000 vertical feet. It is made of 2800 railroad ties. We have wanted to do it for a while, but have not been able to. We are glad we did, but it was not easy. Our legs were tired, after that many steps up and up and up. But it was so rewarding to get to the top and know that we completed it. Plus it is beautiful up there, although we hit it on a overcast day. That made it nice and cool, which we enjoyed because we were sweating pretty hard by the top. Here is a picture from the top, the steps were pretty narrow up here, but they were a lot wider in the middle, that was the part that killed me. I can do the little steps no problem, bu those big ones did me in. You can't see the view to well, with the fog, but it was still beautiful.This is on the way down. There is a four mile trail the winds back and forth that we chose to go down, instead of the actual incline. It was really fun to go down, and nice break from the hike up. I love my husband so much and the 11 years spent together have been wonderful. We look forward to many more happy years together.
