The Mt. Kendall Adventure

In case anyone was wondering why it is we’ve been racking up the trail mileage this summer…

Mt. Kendall. 13,066 feet high and the prominent peak above the little mountain town of Silverton, Colorado, Kendall has a convenient little jeep road that runs right from town to the top, 6ish miles one-way. We hatched the idea while in the area about the same time last year for our wedding anniversary, and all played out even better than imagined. Gorgeous weather, peak fall foliage, just the right amount of family fitness to carry us to the top and back without whining, super swanky accommodations to relax in afterwards, and best of all good company – Linda, John and Mandy (our hardcore crew that can’t ever seem to decline an invitation for a good trail adventure. You guys rock!).

Yup. Nailed it.

“Well this looks like an eager crew!” – noted a passerby on the street in the chilly early morning as we were heading out.
