Wow, you saw a bear! I don't remember even seeing any deer.
We hope to be able to do it again next year.
P.S. - Go TEXAS TECH!
I really hoped even though I am not a climber I could make it. After I made the first pass I really thought I could and I really didn't want to walk in road shoes! But I really never adjusted to the altitude and my allergies were bad, so that could have been it but I think it was I am just a weak climber and need to work. We will go back and I will make it!
We saw plenty of deer on the trails in Red River (hiking) but none on the ride. Just birds, the bear, cows, horses and butterflies.
