The second week of camp was lots of fun, as we took the varsity boys the week of July 19th. Going back was easier this time because I knew what to expect. It didn't take me long to get acclimated to the altitude since I was there just a week prior. We encountered some nasty lightning on Tuesday afternoon, as lots of the storms start right there at the top of the mountain in the ski valley.
Speaking of the ski valley, we took a great hike from there up to Williams Lake, which was at over 11,000 feet elevation. I got some great pictures of the trip, including the Rio Grande River Gorge, which we visited on Monday and the bonfire on the last evening. The entire trip was full of beautiful scenery that can hardly be captured on film.
I'm looking forward to getting back to beautiful Taos next year, but this time with the Allen ladies in tow! It's a great chance for the kids to grow together as a team, and it makes for some great memories!
This is a picture of the road that led up to the ski valley. We ran 4 miles up the last day and 4 miles back down, a whopping 8+ minutes faster than the week before!
