Hiking Chief

Back in the Spring of 2008, the first spring after Eric and I moved out here we hiked Chief with a big group of friends. It’s a trail that's close to Denver and it’s a fun and quick hike, so on Sunday we decided to do it again with friends. But this time we brought all the dogs!
The dogs all did really well, they especially enjoyed the snow. We {people} had mixed feelings about the snow since there were still a few slick spots, which made things interesting every so often. 
I will be honest, I didn’t think Indy would be OK to do the hike, but he was. He was at the head of the pack the entire hike! He followed the trail perfectly only going off to sniff something random or take care of business.The dogs got to a spot at the top with a huge wall of snow and they thought it was awesome. Indy took the opportunity to roll and tunnel on as much of it as he could.

The hike was a lot of fun, the weather was good, and all people and dogs were exhasuted afterwards. All signs of success! If you are interested to see info on the hike click here for the trail info. The only thing that is wrong is the mileage. It's 2 miles one way, not round trip. Trust me.

Gee, you think they want out?
So cute!
