Wild Week

My friend Tom from San Antonio came into town this past week (picking up a hiker along the way), and we’ve had a blast.  After showing him around Ouray, Silverton, and Telluride (including some of my favorite hikes), we headed to Moab, UT, where we camped and toured Arches National Park.  We then drove up to Ogden to stay with our friend Joe T, followed by a trip down to Snowbird for a little 31 mile jaunt through the mountains known as the Speedgoat 50K (Karl Meltzer’s race).  What a fun week!
