Hubby and I did a hike up to Green Mountain Summit today. We knew it was going to be a good day! We arrived at the trail head and there was 1 spot waiting just for us! Yeah us!!

 

We headed up to Boulder around 8am and hit the trail by 9! We stucked on up and up and up!!!  It listed the hike as strenuous, and dang if they weren’t right! I managed to do something to my ankle yesterday and it made the going a might slower than I would have liked! The summit was great! Tons of butterflies!

 

The funny part was that there was a quicker route to the summit! We met up with some people that had come from a different direction! They also suggested lengthening it to include Bear Summit. Maybe next time!

 

On the way back down we encountered a rain storm. It cooled things off nicely!

 

All in all it was a good hike – besides my strained ankle, acting up knee and hubbies knee! Are we getting old or what?
