Not sure if you can see but the far back top right side is "kinda" awesome.

Portions got pretty steep, as we climbed. Is there any other direction in western Colorado?

Climbed to 10,747'. Wanted to go about 0.5 more miles maybe next weekend. Told my son to start a little fire. (Why?) Usually we pack Granola bars and thats it

I had saved one pack of Whitetail sausage to skewer over the fire. Yahoo

Don't you love these fences. We were in about 10" of snow most of the time.
Thats it! Maybe more during the next weeekend. Happy Thanksgiving Gang!!
