This weekend we were able to get in the first hike of 2009. The weather was absolutely perfect for hiking. It was 55 degrees here so we headed over to Cheyenne Mountain State Park. It's only about 20 minutes from where we live.
The hike we chose was a simple 3.29 miles. Along the hike we saw pleanty of "prairie dogs". As a girl who grew up in Montana, I will never understand why they call these things praire dogs. They are just gophers. We also saw some deer. One group of deer was no further than 15 feet away. They were definitely not scared of us.
There was a little bit of snow on the hike. It was mostly dry, but we didn't run into some of the white stuff. The biggest issue was mud. We all came home with our fair share of mud on our feet.
It was a fantastic day to get our first hike of the new year in.
