A view from the top of Deer Mountiain
At the beginning of last week, my friend Mike came to work with a propsal... to climb not only Long's Peak, the highest peak in the park at 14,259 feet, but also Mount Lady Washington 13,200, Storm Peak 13,000, and MOunt Meeker, 13,911 feet, all neighboring peaks of Long's. We estimated that it would take us 14 hours of intense hiking to complete and Mike assured me I could accomplish this feat. Despite his enthusiasm, I needed to put my endurance to the test. I decided to solo hike Deer Mountain which is a relatively steep hike after work in the shortest time possible. It took me 1 hour to complete the 3.2 miles to the summit and I was ready to undertake my Long's challenge.
The YMCA from the top of Deer. I am going to miss this place and the people in it!!
Long's peak and its neighboring peaks beckoning me from the top of Deer!! 
Running in Florida never gives me views such as this!
