Hiking to Point Lookout

The weather on Saturday was beautiful ... a perfect day for a family hike! We bought an annual pass to nearby Mesa Verde National Park (7 miles from our house) knowing that we'd be back time and time again over the course of the next year. So our first hike was to the top of prominent Point Lookout which can be seen from both Mancos and Cortez.  If you look close enough, you could see our house.  With one switchback after another heading up the mountain, it was fair to say that at 8000' feet our lungs still haven't acclimated from the 800' feet that they were used to in Kansas City. Well ... Tyson's may have. He scampered up the trial like a mountain goat. Paige and Cody took a little longer ... but everyone made it and the view was spectacular.  Best of all, it was family time well spent.
