Last weekend (2008-06-14) Heather and I took a trip out hiking to Greyrock Mountain (just NW of Fort Collins). I just spent ~2 hrs figuring out how to upload the pictures (sorry, WordPress won’t let me do thumbnails!) and getting the GPS data into Google Maps. As a result, I don’t really feel like typing up a huge post to go with the pictures…
Heather and I woke up at ~6:00 AM so start the hike at 8:00AM. Finished the hike around 1:30PM. We took the ‘Meadow trail’ both times (by accident). If you look closely (Google Earth is better for this), you’ll notice that we didn’t quite make it to the summit. At the top of Greyrock there are 3 ‘peaks’ – or rather, 3 higher points of interest surrounding a lake. We didn’t go all the way to the very summit of Greyrock, as we wanted to get back at a decent time, although the hike was still very fun.

Your pictures are great! Dad and I will have to come out when the weather isn’t quite so dang hot. Maybe you would be up for some whitewater rafting?
Looks like fun! Keep hugging those trees for me!
I agreed with you
