Daniel Wheeler > North Clear Creek Falls in Southwestern Colorado
Daniel Wheeler > My first birthday hike at age 29. Oneea, Big Mike, Josh, Captain and I hiked Mt Sherman in the Mosquito Range. Although not known for it's beauty, every 14er (Sherman included) has it's own personality, charm and natural beauty. I like this picture for several reasons: the hikers meandering along the ridge show the scale, the rolling hills give dimension, the tundra and lake  give some interesting color, and the very top of that large mountain is where we celebrated my 29th birthday. Since hiking Mt. Sherman, we've celebrated my 30th birthday at the Eagle Cap wilderness and my 31st at Wedgemount Lake. This year, we're headed to Cathedral Provincial Park.

Daniel Wheeler > Trico Peak near Red Mountain Pass. We actually attempted to summit this mountain the day after taking this picture. The weather was nowhere like this day, and we were soon trapped in a major blizzard. After going a quarter of the way up the hill, we learned how to dig snow caves. After some very cold discussions with our guide, we decided to head back down as the weather was getting worse by the second. Still a great experience and got to snap a few pictures in good weather during our training hike like this one.
