step and breathe



josh's cousin mike flew out last friday night for the weekend so saturday morning we got up early, packed a lunch and drove to the mountains. the drive up there was pretty uneventful. first we drove to the fan falls and mike and josh climbed some rocks to feel the cool mist. the trail we usually take up to the mountain was closed, probably due to snow. but we hiked up to chasm falls.

i didn't realize how far it was up to the falls, it felt a lot longer when we couldn't breath the thin air. but it was nice to hike there rather that drive. josh and mike played around the waterfall, and they were lucky that neither one fell in. we drove further up the mountain to the top and hiked up some other mountains. any time i felt out of breath i tried to follow nigel thornberry's advice. the snow was so deep that they had to post warning signs for the visitors to stay off the slopes.
