I just came back from visiting my daughter in Telluride, CO. We , her roommates and I went up Bear Creek trail, it leads to a beautiful waterfall. I had worn my Chacos walking before but not actually hiking up a mountain. They were wonderful, my feet felt great after the 2.4 miles up on a steady incline on rocky terrain, and 2.4 miles down. The girls then were telling me that they wear their Chacos hiking all of the time... we shot this picture on our way to the trail...
