FHO yo!

Wednesday was a phenominal day! We (me, Jennee, and three other peeps [Devin, Luke, and Amy]) hiked three peaks in Rocky Mountain National Park. These peaks are Flattop, Halletts, and Otis (FHO). We left the trailhead at 6 and didn't get back until 4. We took a pretty steady pace and had a lot of fun with it. It was so enjoyable to be in the mountains. This time I didn't burn either!!! We spent most of the day above treeline and it was just spectacular. We got up Flattop pretty quickly and then shortly after jaunted up Halletts. The view from Halletts was just incredible. You can see the west part of the park as well as the east. The east side of the mountains is a lot more jagged and the west side is a lot more sloping. It was fun to see that difference all at the same time. After Halletts (where we stayed for like an hour) we hiked across to Otis. That was an intense peak to get up to. Once we got down though, we didn't have to climb as far...because we slid down a glacier!!! Andrews Glacier was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed sliding down and doing a long sledding hill like that in June. Once we got back, I wasn't sunburned (halleluiah!) and we were pooped. It was an awesome day though and we hiked probably around 12 miles. Not intensely long, but a good start. My only regret is that we didn't get to do Taylor. We were crunched for time...But there will always be the rest of my life :)

Until later...
