Hiking and Cross Country Skiing in Buena Vista and Leadville




Saturday Steve & I hiked on the Midland trail in Buena Vista.  It was a perfect day.  We hiked in the snow and broke trail for most of the hike.  One long distance runner passed us and then we saw one other couple hiking.  The weather was perfect ~ Blue sky, sunny and the views of the Collegiate Peaks were amazing.













Today, Monday, March 11, we cross country skied in Leadville.  We skied on the Mineral Belt trail.  We went with our neighbors, David and Bob.  We had two cars, so we were able to start at one end of the trail and we skied almost 10 miles back to the other end of the trail.  It was amazing!  The trail had been groomed.  David and Bob cross country ski alot.  This was our second day skiing this season.  It was great and I was glad I could keep up with all of them.  Steve & I are SO thankful that we have been able to use David and Ellen's skis, boots and poles, but we are definitely "hooked" and now need to go buy our own equipment. 😃

We came home to MANY birds and deer in our yard...  We love this place!
