I am looking for friends (girls) who want to join me in Colorado at our condo for a weekend this summer. I really want to climb (hike) a 14ner near the condo, called
Grays Peak. I have hiked the peak right next to it, Torreys, which is also a 14,000 foot peak. When I hiked it, I had not been training, nor doing much of any type of exercise program. It was challenging, but totally doable. The hike is steep and at altitude, but not tricky. The hike is actually only 3.5 miles long. No special equipment is needed, but a pair of hiking boots is always a good thing. I did see people doing it in tennis shoes though, but boots would be better.
My condo is in Keystone, which is 1 1/2 hours from Denver and close to Boulder as well. Besides hiking, there is great outlet mall shopping near by, a pool at the condo complex, bike and walking trails and a lake where you can rent paddle boats. This would be a girls only weekend--no kids. :)
Anyway, anyone want to hike with me this summer? I was thinking mid-July to mid-August.

Angie,
This sounds like so much fun! We are having a girls retreat in St. George with my family. So excited! I will have to check my schedule for the next semester to see if I can make it. Would it be best to fly in? Check my blog I need to get your email again:)
