Clair sent an e-mail in with a bunch of photos. She took off hiking with a group of gals…no small hike either. She and the ladies claimed one of the 14,000ft peaks of Colorado.

‘I went and hiked Quandary- a fourteener about 15 minutes from my house with a group of my best friends.  We were at the trailhead by 6 am- it was still dark- and watched the sunrise on the hike.  It was a six hour round trip hike and windy, cold and hard, but totally worth it!  It was my first fourteener and a really empowering experience going with a group of girls.  One of the group had never been on any kind of hike before and had just moved to Breck from Kansas one week before- quite an altitude change to overcome.  But we all made it!  We ran into a group of mountain goats at one point, and a baby followed us up most of the way.’
