Warren and Martin went to Estes for the snow-shoeing trip, but all ended up hiking in the Park instead.

Twenty-four blind and visually-impaired Front Range youth spent the weekend of April 22-24 in Estes Park. It had been planned as a snow-shoe trip, but instead the kids and 9 adults took a 6-and-a-half mile hike in Rocky Mountain Park.

For the past couple of years the Center has co-sponsored a snowshoeing trip for blind kids along the Front Range with Colorado AER. The trip has a history stretching back a decade or more. Steve Patten and Martin Becerra, along with Warren Knight – a current ITP student – served as the male counselors.
