got a chance to go hiking last weekend with kerry. we hiked up to the saddle of little giant from the cunningham gulch side. if anyone knows the silverton area, we chose to hike the more difficult side so we could have an easier drive. i don't think either one of us knew just how steep it was - i believe it was about 4,000 ft of elevation in about 3 miles - holy heifer! the hike got us up to amazing views, so worth the steep hike ... and the sunburn :0

panaramaaa!
after hiking, we did a little geocaching in howardsville, co. the geocache took us to the first burial in howardsville. the grave was in the woods and dated 1880. i would have taken pictures but the bugs were driving me crazy, so no photo documentation. however, we did chill in howardsville for a few minutes before heading to the booming town of silverton.

OMG that looks like so much fun!!! You got up to 13K?!? Awesome!!
yep, and not even to the peak. i didn't think uma could make the final climb because of how steep it was. and i was just happy being at 13k!
Yes! Lucky! :) Love it. I couldn't get up that high this weekend...it's snowing way up there. arrrghh
Sweet - so this was the hike you told me about at dollar pint night! Awesome views - I would love to have the freedom to spend a summer up there and just explore the beaten and non-beaten paths. The history is amazing up there and it's even more amazing how much of the old stuff is still there.
P.S. Rode up Kendall today. Ok, I walked some too. ;-)
