Excerpt of The Departure by Michael Parker

  HOME

Wednesday, May 10, 2006

I was running 10 miles tonight on my favorite path in the canyon at the foot of this mountain.  From the path, you can't see the whole mountain but what you do see towers over you in majestic grandeur. Right now, Spring's thaw has chased the snow from the lower peaks and ridges. It's always a visually breathtaking run, that is if you love mountains.
