so i opped out of the paved path around blue mesa and instead messed around going from the teepees to the blue mesa area. this is where most of me pics are from. really enjoyed this area. so terrain that you don't see very often for sure.

i parked at a sleading area about 1 mile past the nortic center. it was ~5 miles as a bird flies to the top. the snow was somewhat melted, which made travel hard because the snow was sticking to the showshoes. the weather was nice on the way there, clear until... a giant dark cloud cover me.
near the top the trail got steep, i had found the trail, but it didn't do me any good to stay on it, so i just went straight up. taking a step in snowshoes with wet snow is like one step up and a half of step slide back and repeat, my arms and legs were tired.
so because i was laly galin around i didn't start this hike till 3pm, and made it to the cabin at 7 40pm. this put me in the dark for the last hour because of the clouds. but i knew the the cabin would be nice so i continued. without a headlamp i might add, i thought i forgot it, but later i found it in a different part of my pack.
the night was great, the cabin blocked all the wind and i was eye level with the window so i could watch the wind and snow gather around the cabin. this was very nice, if you think you could get up there in the winter, do it.
on the way down i forgot to mark the car on the GPS, so i ended up hitting 180 about 5 miles north of my car, so there i am walking down 180 in a white out with car after car not giving me a ride. if your a hiker and see a hiker walking on the road, GIVE THEM A RIDE, its good carma. finally i ran into some CC skiers and they gave me a ride to my car, which you can see be the pic. that was burried in snow. i packed the trail with the snowshoes than gave it a try, after some back and forth i made it out, when i did i stopped and yelled back at this guy watching me and said, "can you believe that?" he said not if i didn't see it. great trip and next week yosemite..

this is a wonderful trail. i thought it would be a quiet thanksgiving weekend, but there ended up being two other groups down there, not for the worst though. the company was fun. as the other canyon trails are compared this trail is pretty moderate. it was nice to have the steep incline than have 4.5 miles of flat to loosen the legs before another incline. the water falls were great, i can't believe i saw 4 waterfalls over 50 ft tall in one area. i would like to go back to go through the narrows when the water is not so cold. i did this trip as a loop around to tapeat creek and than back up. the part along the river was defiently my favorite. i will be back to this area again.

found myself sitting on the couch the hold day watching football, than remebered that s. mtn is right there. i made it to the top in about 45 minutes. well up there i relaxed a bit than decided to continue north to join up with the national trail. i took that for a short while before i hit the high road, to the right of national and found myself heading down a steep loose trail. all and all it is so nice to have this in our back yard.
