Every year my friends and I do what we call the Boulder Super Slam.
A stroll of the Boulder foothills that is ~25 miles, 10k ft elevation gain and AYCE Indian food!!!
Not many scenic photos because this hike is about the goofiness with good friends while doing something that, let’s be honest, is just a bit daft. 
Why do we do this? Because I think it is cool to have a mini-adventure a mere minutes from my home. Because I like pushing myself. And I love doing it with friends on occasion. It is a great way to jump start the hiking season! 
Life ain’t bad…not at all.
