I think we can all say that today had two distinct parts: mountain bathing and storm chasing.
The Rockies
The team hit the road bright and early in order to do some hiking within Colorado's Rocky Mountains. The trail of the day was Greyrock Trail in Fort Collins. While a bit overcast, the terrain was beautiful, and I know the whole team enjoyed getting some fresh air and moving around. A small group made it to a faux peak, however, had to run (or control fall) their way back in order to make our time crunch. Only minor injuries occurred.`
Storm Mode
After our hike, it was a very quick turnaround to storm chasing mode. With a two and half hour drive back and storm initiation predicted to happen in the early afternoon, we had to get back asap! The main action of the day took place a little north of Limon, CO. With multiple tornado warnings going off, the whole team was on the edge of our seats and for good reason, as we saw a tornado! (It was brief, but it definitely counts). Besides the tornado, we also got to stand and observe a very nice rotating wall cloud.
Run Forest, Run!
