Colorado Mountains

Hi Friends,

[From June (sorry, as you can see I'm a little behind on posting on my blog!) - a brief photo montage of an excursion up Mt. Antero in Colorado.]

“Every one of us lives only to journey further and further into the mountains.” C.S. Lewis

Although I have taken this quote out of it’s context, I love the metaphorical (and literal) idea that it holds. We are all on a journey in life with peaks and valleys, challenges and joys. Mountains often leave us with more questions than answers – Why am I climbing? Can I make it? Will it ever end? Where am I? What if…? But that’s sometimes how life is. Questions like “Where am I going” ring true everyday in my life. So I challenge you to think – Where are you going? Why are you climbing?

This specific journey up Mt. Antero was long and arduous on the way up (we choose to follow the trail-less West Ridge) and worse on the way down (tough on the knees), but somehow there’s something about the mountain that keeps me coming back for more. Maybe these pictures can explain better than my words.
