2012-05-31 Mt. Bierstadt 14,060'

It was great meeting some new MFPals to do a 14er.
Hopefully there will be many more to come!

Here's the link to the album (with full sized pics):

Watch for that little lake in the next pic, from further up the mountain.

There are some who take this "saw blade" over to Mt. Evans.

    Great shots. I especially love all the flattering angles of my butt. :happy:
    I had a great time. Let's definitely do another one soon!

    We'll definitely have to do some more! Yeah, on most of my hikes I stay in the back, so people complain that I only get pics of their butts! How else am I supposed to get everyone in the shots?!

    "Too tough," says the woman who's run two half marathons. You could totally do it!

    Those are great, Joni! I can't wait to see them on something bigger than my iPhone.
