Snowburn

One word of advice for those adventurous souls planning to snow shoe the slopes of Colorado…. SUNSCREEN!  I have what could be the worst facial sunburn that I’ve ever had.  Not that I’m in agony or anything, but I am surprised.  The skies were clear, the sun was bright, and the air was thin.  I guess I should have seen it coming.  It’s just that getting a sunburn something  I normally associate with the beach.  So take this advice from one mountain newbie to another.  Sunscreen is prudent.

Yesterday the missus and I hiked Lobo overlook near the continental divide.  It was truly stunning.  The dramatic vistas inspire grand postures, like this one:

Happiness, joy, and spontaneous modeling are also side effects of such beautiful surroundings.  Take this for example:

The rare and beautiful snow bunny!
