Virginia's Wild Ponies
Thought I'd share a few moments of a beautiful sight as we hiked through the Grayson Highlands State Park in Virginia, on our way to the highpoint of Virginia, Mt. Rogers. On July 13, 2010, we reached the peak at 5,729 ft. We had taken a wrong trail which made our hike much longer, but, back on the right trail, we were rewarded with seeing the wild ponies.

Mt. Elbert, CO
 |
| Mt. Elbert, CO straight ahead |
On July 16, 2011, we attempted to hike our first 14er. Mt. Elbert, Co, is 14,490 feet. The trail has pretty steep moments, and, though we started out plenty early enough, we just could not make it to the summit before the thunder clouds set in.

| The Aspen trees along the beginning of the trail are amazing! |
 |
| At about 13,500 ft. I decided to head back because of dark clouds ahead. |

| The views were breathtaking. This was taken around 12, 500 ft. |
