Shaw fam adventures on sharkstooth

Here's a plan for anyone interested in high altitude hiking August 2012. Everyday, I look out my front door and see the coolest peak. It's called Sharkstooth because it looks like a huge, cool shark's tooth. Chris and I started hiking it last year with the kids. We got about a mile and a half in and it was the most beautiful hike I have ever been on. The wild flowers were huge and it was very green. Ezra hiked the whole time while I carried mags and Chris carried trav for some of it. Of course, we turned around before Ezra got tired, but it left us wanting more. So anyway, for anyone interested, me and mom and dad and John are going to be on-line training partners to get ijn shape to hike this next year. Anybody who wants to do this with us, ,just let us know and we'll get you a training schedule and you have to be ok with one of us calling you to check up on whether or not you exercised that day. I think most of the kids 6 and up could go hike to the peak just before sharkstooth, called Centennial. It is not a difficult hike except for the altitude. It starts at 10,900 feet and ends about 13,000 feet. Put it on your calendars!

  1. I'm going to train for it. Don't know if this old body will make it or not.

  2. Mom you'll totally make it and love it the entire time. I wish ihad remembered to show it to you while you were hear.

    Sar I'm assuming your comment means hmmmm, that sounds like a total blast...I can't wait until next august. Anyway, you have the perfect training track in your very own, very cool back yard. My boys and myself are still talking about what a perfect trip we had. Thanks again.
