Stretching

Sydney and I are headed out tomorrow for a two-night, three-day solo backpack.  This is new territory for me.  I have to say I'm pretty excited.  At first it seemed a bit scary and overwhelming - but as I broke down those fears I realized there really wasn't anything to fear but myself.  And that's just silly.  I can only imagine the beauty that will surround us as we travel up the Pine Creek Trailhead just north of Buena Vista, heading into the Collegiate Peaks Wilderness.  Our goal is two nights in the wilderness and a day hike in between that will take us to Silver King Lake nestled amidst a good handful of Colorado's highest peaks.  

It'll be peaceful and stunning and I'm sure it will stretch my heart and my soul in ways that I cannot begin to fathom.
