Sneffles Highline 2010: What a trip.
What a trip. About a 200 feet from the start of the trail I am tired and sore. Then a 1/4 mile back to home, then I will treat my self to a beverage.

Sneffles Highline 2010: Surprises in the dark.
I love getting a good start on a trip, by hiking in the dark. HOWEVER, these little guys will scare the little daylights out of you. You practically will have to step on them before they will fly and when they do your heart skips a beat. Earlier in the trip, I almost had a heart attack. This grouse I spotted in the daylight, so I was sound in mind and body.
