12,000 feet

Hello after a break - and actually we are on our way home TODAY.  Sad and excited all rolled into one. We have had a wonderful final fling in Canyon country and the Rockies, including a huge hike near Telluride - 12 miles, topping out at over 12,000 feet.  Needed to say "Yo bear!" a lot to encourage bears to keep their distance (saw a big footprint), and had a close encounter with a porcupine.  
Sorry - not time to turn around - an early view on our hike.

Snow bank across our path - exciting.

Weary and triumphant at our campsite
