I had to travel to Raton, New Mexico for work on Friday, so my husband and I took advantage of the trip and did some hiking in Colorado afterward. We hiked near the top of West Spanish Peak. It was beautiful. It was a great day, and I was happy to be there, but it was cold, so I am a bit sick now. It was still worth it though.

West Spanish Peak - This is in Southern Colorado. It is 13,625 feet high. We were at 11, 126 when the photo was taken. |

This is the trail back down from the Spanish Peak area. If you look closely, you can see a ranger's station high on the hill in the back. This is an official wilderness area, but help isn't far away, nor is weather alerting. The equipment near the station is a weather station. |
