RRC Night Hike

After riding a nerd-high with the release of Apple's iOS 5 and then the low from a crushing defeat of the Detroit Tigers in Game #4 of the ALCS, I decided to end the day on a high note and went hiking with a group from Red Rocks Church.  The group had already done several hikes over the summer, which unfortunately I wasn't able to make it to.  However, when I arrived I quickly found out that nearly everyone there hadn't been on any of the previous hikes either!  Anyway, it was an easy trail just West of Boulder, CO (the hippie-infested fittest city in the country).  


The kicker to the easy hike was that we started just after dusk and hiked until approx. 9pm, thus in the dark.  I've done hikes early in the morning when the sun is just coming up, but never after it had gone down.  We all had headlamps, but didn't use them too much since the light from the full moon made it pretty easy to see.  


There was a bit of wildlife (not including the dog hiking with us).  We took some fun pics with the headlamps at the top and then made our way back.  Met some new people to share a great hobby with.  Looking forward to more in the future.
