Ears

Happy, happy kids at the end of this morning's 10+ mile skijor!!!

"We had SO much fun!" declares the happy kids.

Part of today's skijor outing was spent frolicking around the ears for which Rabbit Ears Pass gets its name. There is a peak at the pass, Rabbit Ears Peak, and the two rocks atop the peak are referred to as the "rabbit ears"; thus the ears of Rabbit Ears Pass.

We started out a bit of a distance from the peak:

Upper left in this photo are the rock ears atop Rabbit Ears Peak.
Beautiful groomed trail too! Zoom.

A little further along and the ears are closer....

Better view of the two rock ears in the upper left here.
Oh, zooming again for Jack & Rudy :)

A little further along and even closer...

Straight up from Jack's head are the rock ears.
Did I mention "zoom" from Jack & Rudy on the perfect trail?

I kept saying the phrase "rabbit ears" as we were skijoring around the peak. Eventually Jack & Rudy decided there must be a rabbit under the snow for me to keep saying that word so often...

"Dunk! Hel-loooo? Any rabbits under here?!?" says the silly kids
probing for rabbits under the snow.

It was a BEAUTIFUL morning for a 10+ mile skijor on great trail conditions. Come along for this glimpse into the fun. If you can take your eyes off impressive running Jack & Rudy, you'll see Rabbit Ears Peak (and, thus, the ears) coming in & out of view multiple times in this video clip.
