Winter Playland

Because I had to work today I didn't get to snow shoe with my fun  hiking friends.  When I got home in the after noon it was still a beautiful day.  I decided to go cross country skiing even though I'd have to go alone and I had never gone alone before.  It didn't take long, going up Green Canyon, before I realized I wasn't alone.

These are the groomed ski tracks I followed.

This cute group was going to the Yurt to spend the night.  They were with the group Common Ground that helps disabled people enjoy the out doors.

I snapped this picture as the lady zipped by on her skis.

A lot of the skiers had dogs.

I'd never seen this before-snow bikes.  They looked so much fun!

Good by, snow bikes.

I took this picture after I did a spread eagle fall flat on my face trying to avoid hitting these people, my neighbors, as we were on the same tracks.  I picked myself up, swallowed my pride and took their picture.  The camera lens was fogged up as a result of my fall.

I thought I was going to be alone but there were a lot of people ( and I didn't photograph half of them) enjoying the winter playland in Green Canyon.
