Homeward bound from a week of hiking from Eagle to Crested Butte, we stopped for one last quick jaunt up North Jones Mountain, daring the thunderstorms in the distance to outpace us. Ok, it wasn’t really that close. If it was, we would not have summited. But for a driving day, not a bad little hike. Of course, starting at a 12000 foot pass helps.

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?”...

Mission accomplished!
