Yesterday our family went on a hike called the Jud Wiebe trail. It was a harder and longer hike then the M hike in Bozeman. It took about 3 1/2 hours up and down. At the top of the mountain I could see all over the place - the town, the mountains and a road that went on forever! On our way up the trail we passed other people with their dogs coming down and asked how much longer to the summit. We kept hiking and began to climb through trees, mud and snow, always trying to keep our balance! We sat at the top for a little while to relax and then started our way down the trail. As were walking down the mountain, I started to feel the change of temperature. I noticed that the spots that were getting sun were warm and muddy and the other areas, that were covered with trees and didn't get much sun, had colder temperatures and snow that was 5 feet deep.
After walking for a while the path started to get slippery. I fell 3 times on the way down :( but started to get used to the ice. After about an hour of hiking down we finally got to the bottom, hopped on the Galloping Goose, took it home, changed and went out for dinner. I think it was cool to work through the tough parts and get to the top of the mountain. I slept hard!

No wonder you guys are so fit. Looks like you are having the time of your life in the Western Mountains. Who's Jud? I guess the area is so historic Telluride is close to being considered a National Park area. You are really moveing around in snow, don't fall in the 5 ft. drifts Hank.
