Today was a short hiking day as Paige and Seth were having their rehearsal dinner in Crested Butte, but we managed to make it to the mouth of a very intriguing valley up Copper Creek. When I was a bit younger and perhaps less wise, I and a couple of friends ski-backpacked up this valley, over Triangle Pass, and down to Conundrum Hot Springs. I haven’t back since. I must admit, I still wonder why. And today, I have to turn back too soon. But I will be back.

In 2007 I am challenging myself to hike 1000 miles in a year.
That’s almost 20 miles a week, or about 2.75 miles every day.
Whenever I’ve mentioned this goal to friends, the reaction has
ranged “Wow, that’s a lot!” to “No problem! That
should be easy!” to “What, exactly, counts as a hike?
How long?” to “Cool, but you should give yourself extra
mileage for elevation gained” to “Does
jogging/walking/biking count?”...

Actual miles hiked in 2007:
1000.15
Mission accomplished!
