Post Your Outdoor Adventure

[Aketuan]

Well, another awesome adventure this last week.

Now that it is winter over here, the game changes and the snow, cold and less light time effect a lot about hiking.

I left at 3:00 AM to go climb 3 peaks. Flattop, Hallett and Taylor. (I'd never been on top of Taylor before the hike.)

I got back home at 7:30 PM and the hike was about 16 miles with about 6,000 ft total elevation gain.

I recorded a bunch of clips along the way to show people how awesome (and dangerous) Colorado winter hiking can be as well as to give everyone some cool info about the area and winter hiking in general.

If anyone ever comes through CO one day and wants to give something like this a try, just ask me.
