A Summer Hike

JO and I have a pretty epic road trip in South Dakota and Colorado coming up in August.  The itinerary includes quite a lot of hiking but due to the rainy spring weather, we weren't able to get any hikes in.  Thankfully, the temps were pretty reasonable yesterday and we were able to hike Mt. Shaw.  
I really loved this hike.  The trail quality is fabulous, there was a pretty rigorous vertical section to wake up our legs, and the views were epic!

As much as I love the city life, I do love the chance to get out in nature and just get away from everything for a little while!  I'm hoping we are able to do a bunch of fall hiking to make up for the lack of spring hiking this year!
