God's own life is an adventure!

"God's own life is an adventure!"

Alfred North Whitehead

Yesterday's hike was quite amazing! I broke trail on snowshoes for several miles up to Lake Hiayaha, where the ice was beginning to crystallize in intricately delicate patterns. Then I hiked two bowls over just in time for the alpenglow on Long's Peak at Mills Lake.

All of this was followed, of course, by a beautiful snowshoe hike back down in the dark with the aid of a headlamp. What a great day!
