I tried something new with Kris yesterday! He wanted to show me Stewart Falls, a 200-foot waterfall near the Sundance Resort. It was just under 2 miles each way, which was the perfect distance since snowshoeing is harder than hiking and I wasn't completely steady on my feet. One thing I love about hiking with Kris is that he always offers me a hand when he thinks I might have trouble, but it never feels patronizing, just helpful. I fall down a lot. It was only $8 to rent the snowshoes for the day! This is something I never thought I'd try. I'm so glad I gave it a chance! The scenery along the way was beautiful. And then this! We finished just as it was getting dark. I had a slight situation... Somehow, the back of my legs were covered with ice. We tried to brush it off, but it was frozen to my pants. This wasn't a big deal while we were hiking (although it was only 16 degrees), but when we got in the car, the ice melted and I was sitting
National parks, hiking, canyoneering, and other weird sight-seeing
