Today's skijor outing was dominated by absolutely stunning views - all day long!
 |
Galloping along in a wide-open and untouched meadow. Great view of snow covered
Rocky Mountains in the foreground. So peaceful... |
Our original plan was to skijor out Shrine Pass and Lime Creek at the Vail Pass Recreation Area. I was so mesmerized by the views and serene terrain on Shrine Pass that we adjusted our route and instead explored every meadow & side trail up & down Shrine Pass. A beautiful tour of incredible scenery as we glided back & forth and in & out of every meadow and side trail we encountered. So peaceful...
(1) Great views at the top of Shrine Pass:

Running fast along the top of Shrine Pass. None of us like running (or skiing) in the snowmobile
tracks you see to our left - it is much more fun to cruise along the smooth shoulder instead of
the rough snowmobile tracks. |
(2) Great views on the back side of Shrine Pass:
 |
Pausing for our quick midpoint break. Basically, it was breathtaking every direction we
looked all day long! |
(3) Great views on the front side of Shrine Pass:
 |
| Just stand on the skis and take it all in as the Siberians sprint along... |
(4) Great views of the Siberians:

| Isn't this the only view I ever need - happy as can be! |
A beautiful 12.1 mile run with 1200 feet of elevation climbed and a top speed of 17 MPH.
