I have been spending a great deal of time out at Lake Catamount which lies on the outskirts of Steamboat Springs, CO lately. There is just something about the pristine beauty and simple quietness about that place that rejuvenates my soul. I started running out there a few months ago as I prepare for the Steamboat Springs Triathlon which is coming up at the end of August. What I am finding now however is that regardless of what activity I am “supposed” to do on any given day, I find myself running along the glistening lake and just soaking up the majestic views that can be seen from any direction.
One of my favorite parts about these jaunts that I take out there is my new fox friends. There is a small family of foxes out there that have lost all sense of fear when it comes to humans, be this good or bad, I appreciate and enjoy our daily interactions and their curiosity. It has been really fun watching them grow up this summer!
Lake Catamount has an incredible number of activities to keep anyone active, from golf and swimming in the summer to ice fishing and Nordic skiing in the winter, there is certainly an abundance of things to do.
