Running in the Indian Peaks Wilderness

Last Saturday I got up to the Indian Peaks with my friend Jaime. We had an ideal day exploring over 20 miles of incredibly beautiful country that featured lakes, rivers, waterfalls, wildflowers, and a two mile stretch along the Continental Divide.


While we did run a bunch of it, we also took time to stop and enjoy the views. Sometimes we just shuffled along, sometimes we walked. It didn't really matter as our only priority was maximizing one of those rare perfect days in the mountains.


As you can see, we capped off our outing with an ice bath in a creek. There is no better way to recover from a run than to instantly numb your legs with rushing water!
