We did this hike back on Oct. 4, im a little late posing, i was our "last" summer/fall hike, we have not been out since
anyways it a real fast summit, if you can find the trail head, it starts in a neighborhood and well i got lost, but found Eddy as i was driving around and we made it to the trail head.
I forgot to start my tracks on time but here they are

we did it in about 3hrs maybe a hair longer, did 5 miles RT and only gained about 1,300 feet of elevation. the summit is 13,006ft, and believe it or not its NOT the lowest 13er you can hike!
ok on to the pics, it was SO windy  you can see the fur on the dogs just moving in it in the pics. it was a very cold hike in our normal gear.


this find started our hike


Sierra enjoyed it


the hump to the right is our summit after we made it up the first false summit




some summit views












Summit!


the boys

on the first incline we spotted all these markers in the ground.
Eddy said this mountain is were some of CO largest gold nuggets were found, there are lots of mine shafts around that have been filled


very cool old Bristlecone pine trees





Till our next adventure, should be in snow!!!

Must have been cold, I think this is the first time you posted yourself "mummified" he he

Time to wax up the skis (or boards in your case, Jen).
How is Sierra doing?
