Colorado Trail – Day 37 (15 miles)
Posted by Administrator under Colorado Trail Hike 2011No Comments
Got moving around 8 and went for breakfast at the Brown Bear. Back to the hotel, pack and hitch a ride to the trail. On the trail by 10. It was a pleasant hike until 1:00 when I had to go over the pass in a thunderstorm. I am sooo paranoid about getting struck by lightening! Fortunately there were 2 mountains right on either side of the pass so I wasn’t even close to being the highest thing.
Hiked the rest of the day in rain and hail. The rain stopped shortly after I set up camp – Cassie crawled into my sleeping bag soaking wet.
- A bit of sleet
- Odd little trickle of a spring
- Miles to go before I sleep
- Mountain view
- Beautiful late summer wild flowers
- A little sleet
