July 4th Apache Adventure

The 4th of July started out with a big bang for me.
It started at 4:30 am at the Long Lake trail head where I met up with Ben, Caleb, Luke, Stu, and Evelyn to hike up Apache and ski a couloir.
An early morning start allowed us to watch the sunrise. The aplenglow from the sun on the Indian Peaks was breathtaking.
Here is Ben celebrating his descent that finished with him skiing across the water just behind him. It was a great day of hiking and skiing. For a detailed description of the day, see Stu's Blog.
We finished the never ending 4th of July day by watching fireworks in Nederland. Evelyn, Caleb, Luke, an Nichole waiting for the show.
Here I am during the early morning hike and then later on waiting for the fireworks. It was a good 4th of July for sure, one that will definitely be talked about for years to come.
