The bare slopes above Caribou, Colorado are a great place to hike in the winter, because it's almost always possible to walk on top of even the deepest snow. #kali #kuvasz #dogs #colorado #scenery

Instead of wandering off in search of the next great find as she normally would, Kali settled down in front of these two cabins above Georgetown, Colorado as if she was in her new back yard. #kali #kuvasz #dogs #colorado #ruins #history

After spending many hours climbing over a mountain to investigate a mine site near Keystone, Colorado, Kali was less interested than usual in what we had found there, possibly because she wasn't sure if I realized that it was getting late. #kali #kuvasz #dogs #ruins #history

Fortunately, none of the prospects we found during a hike near Silver Plume, Colorado were deep enough for Kali to get into trouble during her explorations. #kali #kuvasz #dogs

While on a long hike near Black Hawk, Colorado, we found so many old mines and buildings that Kali started dismissing some of them with no more than a glance and a sniff. #kali #kuvasz #dogs #ruins #history

For Kali, the best thing about hiking at high elevations is that there are usually refreshing snow banks to both eat and rest on, and that happened quite often during a spring hike near Rollins Pass, west of Boulder, Colorado. #kali #kuvasz #dogs #colorado

Kali takes a well deserved break in Coney Lake during a long hike in a remote area west of Boulder, Colorado. #kali #kuvasz #dogs #scenery

During a long hike northwest of Alma, Colorado, Kali takes refuge in a small cabin as a thunderstorm slowly forms overhead. #kali #kuvasz #dogs #colorado #ruins #history #scenery

This stamp mill near Nederland, Colorado, which was used to pound rock into powder as part of the mineral extraction process, is the only one I have ever seen. #kali #kuvasz #dogs #colorado #ruins #history
