Well, I’ve found my new favorite thing to do–Hiking. I had the chance to go to Colorado a few times this year for work. I really enjoyed the trips and decided to come back to try climbing Long’s peak, the tallest 14er in Rocky Mountain National Park. Although Nabeel (my friend from college) struggled quite a bit to get to the top (we never did actually get to the summit), it was still a great trip. If we had packed lighter, I have no doubt we would have been able to get to the top and back.
I recommend the trip to everyone- However, I must warn you that its not the place to go if you want solitude. It seems like everyone and their grandma want to try to climb one of the most celebrated trails in Backpacker magazine this past summer.
