Ketchum, ID – I tried to hike to Pioneer Cabin last week without luck. After struggling across the first snow-field, sinking up past my bare knees and keeping an eye on the dark clouds rolling ever closer, I called it a hike.
The final view on that jaunt is incredible and I was disappointed that I was unable to share it with my visiting friend. There is plenty to enjoy in the valley, regardless of the new snow in the mountains. Check here for the latest trail updates in the Wood River Valley.
Whoville from Dollar’s backside
I competed in last weeks Wood River Cup, short-track mountain bike race but lost track of time this afternoon and have missed this evening’s adventure. I will have to catch the train again next week. The Sawtooth Relay is coming up Saturday and my first leg, including 1,331″ elevation gain over 5.35 miles, should be killer (hopefully not literally). Ending at 8,701″ ain’t no thang… right?
Last night’s dinner included the first harvest of lettuce from my garden (Ketchum) so spring has sprung, regardless of the continued rain.
Living it up, Kate
