Denver – Boulder, CO

This was my second trip to Colorado ever. In addition to attending Adrienne’s wedding ceremony, I did some indoor rock climbing with Ken and ran the Mt. Evans Ascent with Anne and Shane, visited Red Rocks in Golden, and spent some time in Denver, Longmont, and Boulder.

Colorado must have made a good enough impression on me because two years later, I moved there!

[Golden] After the epic Mt. Evan's Ascent (click here for photos), I spent the afternoon at Red Rocks Park (which turned out to be more of an amphitheatre) to do some hiking, stretching, and meditation.  No climbing was allowed, unfortunately!
