Just Keep Searching for a Vulneray Weekend

I was in Durango last weekend.  All I am going to say about it is that I went snowboarding, the first time by myself.  So to substitute for the brevity of my words, I'll post ALL the pictures I took from my weekend trip (all of which were taken within the space of the same ten minutes).  The really noteworthy thing to post is that by this time next week I will be holding hands with my boyfriend in Hoboken, New Jersey.

Those Wonderful Day Hikes

On Sunday at the yurt trip, I took a day hike with my friend Jim.  We had a plan to head to a ridge, but the huge blisters on my feet made me decide to just stick to the forest road and leave the snowshoes at the yurt.  Well we weren't were we expected to be and I like to forge my own way, so we ended up in the deep snow trucking through wherever my whims and my navigation took us. 

Made it back to the yurt and had lunch and then strapped on the snowshoes and headed towards Trujillo Meadow Reservoir.  We made it down to the meadow and decided to turn back since we had to climb out of the valley before dark.

The topo of our day hike (all markings are approximations) :)  I certainly do like some of the things on my new computer.  I think I drew too small to read it though...so....the purple is the yurt location, the maroon arrow is the road we thought we were hiking and the black arrow and black route above the yurt was our actual location in the morning and the orange arrow and black route below the yurt is the afternoon snowshoe to the meadow. (click on the picture though, then you get the details).

Barely seen between the two trees is Jarosa Peak, the peak we hiked up last year at Grouse Creek yurt on the other side of the mountain.
