I think I just quickly need to set the record straight. We are on a gondola going down 2000 feet and Twila says oh wouldn't that be a fun hike, instead of taking the gondola lets hike up to Sophia Station.
Not now, not ever. Panic kicked in, and I knew I had to find a hike that would appease her. What is the easiest hike in Telluride? It was the Bear Creek hike. Yes it was all up hill on the way out, but it was not a 2000 foot climb. It was a bit harder then I had expected. We did ask a native Telluridian what a fairly easy hike was and this is the one he suggested. I am guessing these Telluride peoples easy hike is not exactly the same as what I consider easy. So on a scale of 1-10 it definitely closer to a 6 rather then a 1, but all is well that ends well.
The movie, well I just wanted to add a few thoughts. This film was suppose to take place over a five year period and so they would show the scenery as to let us know the passage of time. Problem was I couldn't really tell - we would see wheat and I guess that would be fall and then we would see wheat and a green tree and I would guess that would be spring and then we would see wheat and a tree with no leaves and I would guess that was winter and then we would see wheat and no tree and I guessed maybe that was a year? Yes I found it interesting, but I did find myself wondering a few times has it been five years yet?

Thanks for setting the record straight on the "hike from hell".
ReplyDeleteTwila, and her broken toe, originally gained the sympathy vote, but you've now let us know that the hike was only to appease the "Toe God" - 6 out of 10????? What would you read the "Planet of the Apes" trail in Pacifica?
Lets hope the farmers from the midwest don't attack you in mass for not knowing the stages of wheat (I don't either - I'm guessing dirt, seeds, sprouts, growth, full stalks/grain, stubble & then cereal). What was the name of the movie so that your loyal readers can make the see/avoid decision?
