"Columbine-Hondo Trail" - Hiking Spam

We hiked the Columbine-Hondo Trail today [again]. We wanted to do the whole trail [12 miles] but ended up doing only half because it got kinda hot for the dogs [and us].

This time we only took Ahi and Kona [if you remember last time Hilo went too and barked at everyone]. We didn't take Hilo this time because it's a rather technical trail at times and he just not sure-footed enough to comfortably hike.

Kona, of course, carried his pack with our water in it. Ahi didn't because she is still healing from her front foot issue - whatever it was.

This hike went really well, we saw a lot of off-lead dogs but the all the owners were great and pulled their dogs of the trail. It was refreshing to see some polite dog owners for once.

Here is the spam...

    Wow, beautiful trail! I love the "auras" in a couple of your pics. I get those sometimes with my outdoor photography and imagine its a spirit of some sort. Kona seems to be handling his "work" with the packs pretty well.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Looks like a great time!!!

    That picture of Kona on the rock (log?) is great - it's like "I'm the champion of this rock!!!"

    Very nice :o)

    Wow, looks like a great day! The boy scout in me keeps wanting to yell at you guys for hiking without the proper gear, but then I realize that Kona is carrying it for you guys. :-)

    Awesome photos! Glad you didn't have to worry about off-lead dogs charging you guys.

    You know, even if I could trust my dog off lead 100% I don't think I'd ever let him off lead in the woods. :\ ~

    I love that picture of Ahi. She's so beautiful!

    And what a beautiful trail. How far is that from your house?

    That trail is about 30 minutes from our place - it is towards the Colorado border.
