Sometimes the simple things in life are all you need. Such as warmth and a game of cards with good friends. Composed and taken at Vance's Cabin in the Colorado backcountry in the dead of winter at 11,000' on a snowy night. Warmth indeed!
Backcountry beauty!
So I recently turned the big 3-0 and went on a backcountry hut trip with friends to celebrate. Turned out to be a bit of adventure with taking the wrong trail, breaking new trail and finishing up in the dark! Here are few of my favorites from the trip...
My friend Jon enjoying the day!
The sign that should have clued us in that we were going the wrong way!
Nothing like a warm fire after a long day on the cold trail.
Peaceful outside, fun party inside!
Whiskey by candlelight.
The next morning, what a sight!
Nothing quite as peaceful as being in the middle of the wilderness at over 10,000' feet!
Breakfast is served!
Tubing is fun!
Getting some air!
Snowshoe fun on the way down!
Goodbye Aspen!
Thanks for looking!
