Hike with Oscar at Pawnee peak

First outing with my friend Oscar in the Colorado mountains in the United States.
I stayed in Denver for three months as part of an inter-school exchange program, and it was during this time that two friends reintroduced me to the mountains.
The first outing was to reach Pawnee Peak at 3,999 meters above sea level, so we left early in the morning for a drive of over an hour and a half to get out of the city and head into the mountains.
We started our hike in shoes, but we quickly had to put on our snowshoes because the snow was still very fresh and too powdery to walk in without sinking.
We walked fairly slowly to a lake called Isabel Lake, and we took out a golf club and three colored balls to try our best swings on the frozen lake. (We lost a ball, and all the shots were quite disappointing, but it was a fun experience.)

But after staying a while by the lake eating lunch and nursing a blister, we started hearing the sound of rockfalls further up the mountain, and since we were already quite tired from walking so far on snowshoes, we thought it best to turn around and continue our journey.
The descent was honestly quite unpleasant; my shoes weren't waterproof enough, and my feet were wet and frozen throughout the descent. Halfway through, it started to snow really hard, which didn't help the state of my feet or our mental state.
We arrived at the parking lot after more than two hours of walking with frozen feet and eager to get warm in the car, but we were happy with our walk.
