A summer favourite! Hayward run and swim on a beau A summer favourite! Hayward run and swim on a beautiful day. The water was so refreshing.  This trail is so pretty, all my coworkers love my background photo that I use in my calls at work that I took here. I feel like a legend running through the mythical landscape in real life 🙏✨️
A few more gorgeous mountain scenes from Excelsior A few more gorgeous mountain scenes from Excelsior Pass 🌼. If you love first switchbacks, you'll love this trail! Ice cream treats well-earned.
Glacier lily paradise ✨️ We had a great hike up to Glacier lily paradise ✨️ We had a great hike up to Excelsior Pass, then along the ridge to a nameless peak amd then back to Excelsior Peak. 1500m of climbing and descent but a perfect day for it. So many woldflowers on the bluffs.
Always a favourite, the annual run club Elk night Always a favourite, the annual run club Elk night 🌞
