Beautiful Mohawk Lakes, Breckenridge, Colorado

How to get there: Once you are on Spruce Creek Rd, continue on to the parking area at the end of the road. There are signs at the trail head describing your route. Its too easy. If you have a 4-wheel drive, you can continue on to the upper parking area to shorten your hike. There are limited parking spots here, but I have always been able to find one. Walk up to the end of the dirt road and you will see the trail heading back into the woods.

There is something truly amazing about high alpine lakes. Upon arrival at Lower Mohawk Lake, I feel like I am close to the summit of the surrounding 13ers. This is a busy hike, but I still recommend it to anyone looking to enjoy one of the most beautiful places in the world. Its perfect because almost anyone can handle the 3.6 mile hike (from the lower lot) and its super close to town. Only takes about 10 minutes to get there from The North Face Breckenridge store on Main Street!

Here is beautiful Baylor enjoying the cold water of Lower Mohawk

Baylor spent about 45 minutes in the ice-cold water on Tuesday! Not quite sure how he does it. Baylor also did some nice landscaping free of charge. He really likes rocks!

To the top of Loveland Pass.....Fun in Moab

I have been pretty busy lately between work and a week long trip to the east coast. If you live in the right place and work for the right people, life can be pretty amazing. On Tuesday, Kelly and I decided to hurt ourselves and ride our road bikes from his house here in Breck to the top of Loveland Pass. It was a grueling 50 mile ride with plenty of elevation gain....I haven't done the math, but it was quite the climb. I do recommend it to anyone who loves to road bike, but since I hadn't been cycling in a couple weeks, maybe a couple 20 mile rides prior to this would have been a good idea!! Anywho, here's a picture of me at the top. Proof.

Our office manager, Tammy Chambers (who is amazing by the way) also got to have some fun lately. Tammy and her husband Dean and daughter Talon took their beautiful German Shepard to Moab for a nice little family camping trip. She said it was pretty hot and Gitmo couldn't get enough of the swimming.
