Climbing Bear Peak

Here are some photos from the day Tom and I climbed Bear Peak, which is a mountain in the Colorado Rockies measuring 8,460 feet.  The entire hike was 9 miles, with about half of those steep ascents and descents of about 3,000 feet.  It was very challenging for people not used to climbing anything more difficult than the stairs, and Tom and I were very proud of ourselves when we were done.  And hungry.  And sweaty. Enjoy the pics!
Our destination, 4.5 miles away.
Still smiling because we don't know what we're in for.
A view.
Another view.
The last few dozen yards to the top.
Tom, about 2 yards below the peak.
Sittin' pretty on top of a mountain!
The moon kept us company on our car ride home.
