Last Saturday Kim and I decided to take a hike. We met at the Forest Service office with no clue where we were going or how long we would be. We ended up at Card Canyon. We took the west fork and were so into our conversations about current events and fur muffs that next thing we knew we were at the top, so we decided to loop it.
This is the top of Card Canyon, as well as more photos of Kim hiking with her eyes closed...ya, she's that good.
As you can see there was snow so the hiking trail was not exactly visible, it was mostly old ATV tracks going all over the place (I hear even on a good day the loop trail is tricky at the top) but really, who needs a trail anyway? Not us. We head toward what seemed to be the east fork and made our way down. We got to see parts of the canyon seldom seen by other human beings...as most human's would not in their right mind hike through terrain like this: (FYI in that second photo my legs are dangling, I fell down a hill).
We eventually met up with the trail about 1/2 way through the east fork. Luckily we found it in one of the few places there were no cliffs to scale, for which my knees were grateful. The pain I felt for the next two days was worth every inch we covered (and will hopefully cause me to remember my poles next time). It was a great day.
