Looking back on old photos, I found the ones from my first ever solo hike- the popular Blue Lakes in Ridgway, Colorado.
One month after moving from Illinois, I hiked it alone in November 2020 and had the entire trail to myself. I eventually turned around after the second lake as the snow was to my calves.
What's your best nature moment where you surprised yourself with your own capabilities?

Yeah, that's me climbing a serac. It was an almost perfect 100+foot spike. I just had to try it. I couldn't take this photo for obvious reasons but it was my camera. Ginger got a pretty dramatic shot. Photography in her future I think.
