Getting High
So I definately forgot to write about a beautiful trip that I took that my favorite company that I get a paycheck from helped send me on...a training class in Boulder, CO...preceeded by a weekend in Albuquerque, NM, and followed by weekend in Denver , CO...
My friend Jason was getting married, and it just so happened that they planned their wedding around my training schedule, so lucky for me...arriving in NM was definately not quite what I expected...for some reason I had this idea that it was very desolate and run down...definately not...the airport was very new, and getting out on to the highways just seemed like anywhere else, except the view was great! You see some city...and then mountains behind...not mountains hidden by the smog...but clearly visible...
Went for a hike the next day to a place called Tent Rocks National Park...highly recommend it...I've never been up at 7000 before, like I was there...it was a fairly easy hike, about 600 feet, with some scrambling...but what a view...you could see for miles...but not because it's so flat, but because you're above everything! The next day was Sandia Peak...clearly operated by the people who operate Sandia National Labs...clearlly...a tram ride up the mountain takes you past sheer rocks, and some trees on the mountain side. Get to the top, and hike around some more...and get out to a ledge that gives you a view of the entire valley...amazing!
On to Boulder CO, where the people are liberal, and the views are liberally beautiful...the mountains and the women...amazing...
The class was great...and the town better...the mountains breathtaking...a house on top of one of them was an evening well spent...views in the front, back, and the sides too...truly the life that I could get used to!
On to Denver, and to Mt. Evans...14200 feet up in the air...into the clouds, it feels holy up there...a place so pristine...except for the others around! It was a white knuckle drive up, but a fun ride down...postcard pictures all around...
Garden of the Gods...a place so wonderful that words can hardly describe...a natural place where worship seems natural...energy abound...yet peace and quite was plenty to be found...
So if you're looking for a new place to see...NM and CO definately won't disappoint!
