First Day in Fort Collins

I had a great first full day in Ft. Collins with my friends Nick and Hilary. This morning I got some work done at Everyday Joe’s, a nonprofit coffee shop like the one I volunteer at in Seattle. After wrapping up a few client projects, Nick and I headed out to Horsetooth Mountain Park in the foothills of the Rockies.

The trail easily meandered through the shallow canyon, but the elevation took its toll on my perceived fitness ability. I can tell I’ve been at sea level for over a year. The 95 degree sunshine felt absolutely amazing.

After a quick dip in the pool to cool off we grilled out hamburgers and tried an amber from the local Fort Collins Brewery. From their apartment we watched the sun set over Horsetooth Mountain. The perfect end to a great day.
