It's been quite a while, but that doesn't mean I haven't been hiking!
I've recently learned the term redlining and that's exactly what I've been doing. I've been here over 8 years now and every weekend still brings a new trail to hike, believe it or not. I feel like I've been living in an amazing outdoor bubble. I don't take it for granted.
Redlining in hiking lingo means hiking every trail in a specific area. The two areas I've been redlining have been in Boulder and Rocky Mountain National Park. I've been tracking my lines in the Gaia app. I am pretty much finished with the main area of Boulder as of this summer aside from some neighborhood connector trails. RMNP is another beast. I've finished a lot of the trails with the exception of the hardest and longest ones. I'm not sure if I'll ever get to the hardest of the hardest, but if not, that's ok. My limits are my limits and I've accepted that. This past summer probably consisted more of the boring, less travelled trails to finish off some connecting lines, but they were still worthy of hiking.
I plan to update this with all of the area hikes this winter so stay tuned if you want to know my top rated trails!
