Hiking Near Rocky Mountain For Work
We took a break from our team meeting to hike. CT is 43 ft above sea level. We hiked up a mountain that was 8,800 ft above sea level.
It was insane.
I had to stop a couple of times. Walking and talking up a mountain. Wasn’t easy. I wasn’t wearing the right shoes. I was out of breathe. It was crazy.
I look down and you see granite in the mountains.
Just forming everywhere. We reach the top of a resting spot. The view is gorgeous. Just like everywhere else. We have some hot cider and take a break.
I opted to go back with another coworker instead of climbing up higher but will prepare for next time so I can walk faster than my leader- my client.
Atvs In the Mountains of Colorado
We last did this in Vermont but with a guide and about six other Atvs all following one another. This time they give you a jeep and a trailer. The Atv and keys. You get four hours to take this out and have some fun. Solo. No guide. No group. Just you, a jeep, trailer and atv. .
There’s a gps in the Jeep and Atv. There are trails they recommend all having different things to experience. This one was rocky climbing up. You are up in the mountains. You look off to the side and it’s a cliff.
At the top we stop and catch an awesome view.
We got down a couple of times to walk around. It’s gorgeous.
Pictures don’t do justice of how gorgeous it is. After two hours of ripping through the mountain I got off and let my boyfriend ride up solo.
Two hours was enough for me.
Flying After Covid
I haven’t flown in two years. The last time was to Colorado in 2019 then back to Colorado this week. I haven’t worn a mask that long.
You have to wear your mask and just show your face at security as you’re going through with your boarding pass. No one asked for a vaccination card or proof of negative test.
When I boarded Delta they gave us a hand sanitizer wipe. I used for my hands and to wipe down my seat area.
It’s been two years. Two! Prior to that I flown 5 times within a year. So to go this long was crazy. Covid really put a halt on life for all of us. It was nice to be back traveling even if it was while wearing a mask
