The Winter Uintas

Since the Winter is just beginning and the road to our Uinta Sanctuary hasn't closed yet, we have been able to go out there to hike around in the snow. I just love the Winter season now that I know how to go play in it.

This is Hendrix's first winter season with us and for how little fur he has to stay warm, we were shocked to see him go bounding through the snow, enjoying himself more than ever. We bought him a little fleece to keep him warm and he knows that when he puts it on, we are going out for an adventure.

Ash is at it again with some great pics of me and Hendrix. We hiked up to the top of Mount Watson, about 11,700 feet.

On our second trip out there, we left just as the snow started to fall and the sun had just finished setting. We are looking forward to heading back out into the Uintas during the rest of the winter. I am getting some touring gear for Christmas so Ash and I will go skiing with Hendrix in the backcountry every chance we get.

Winter, here we come...now please send us some snow!
