Mount Margaret Snowshoeing
Katie and I went up to Red Feather Lakes to go snowshoeing at Mount Margaret. We picked an easy trail since both of us are out of shape and since this was Katie's first time snowshoeing. the trail itself is over 7 miles long, but we only hiked a portion of the trail, turning around after 2 miles making it a roundtrip hike of just under 4 miles. It took us almost 2 hours even though it was a measly 500 feet in elevation gain.

Off the Bridge
There was a bridge to get over the frozen stream but all the snowshoers walked over the river because the snow was softer.

I think I have at least one photo with this same title in every single hiking post I publish.

Windy Field
It was pretty windy, but most of the time, the trees shielded us form the wind. Having to cross through this big field was a cold endeavor.
