It's over!!!!!

Jonathan and some buddies celebrated the ending of residency with a 4 day backpacking trip to some 14ers here in Colorado. They began the trip in Denver where they took their boards exam. After it was over they headed into the mountains and there were able to hike 3 14ers. They earned this much needed break for sure!

These are pics from an incredible chalet up Mt. Princeton. Situated above Buena Vista along the tree-line, this isolated piece of heaven is open for anyone brave enough to get up there. You can sit and watch the campfire flicker with incredible views of the valley below and mountains in the distance. Breathtaking!
