On our third day back in Steamboat, all of the CAs went on a two day retreat in Silverton, CO for some group bonding. I had never tried to hike a mountain before, and coming from sea level I'll admit I was incredibly nervous. It didn't help that everyone else had a lot of hiking experience, but everyone was in high spirits when we headed out around 8:30am. Their motivation kept me going, and our conversations made the time fly. I also have to admit that Mia helped me out by carrying our backpack uphill a majority of the way. Making it as far as we did was very rewarding, the views were stunning and I felt like we really accomplished something.
Unfortunately we were unable to make it to the summit because there was too much snow on the path and most of us were only wearing sneakers. It was still a lot of fun, and we are planning on hiking a 14er in Summit County within the next month. After that I guess I'll need to start looking for a bull named Fu Man Chu...
