Colorado Trail
Hard Day’s Climb
A 2,700 foot climb lasted for miles and took me all morning. There was a brief decent and back up again for 1,500 feet. This all made for a hard day’s climb.

I have a lot of food in my pack and more waiting at the Twin Lakes general store. The thought was to camp one more night, but I decided to go for Twin Lakes.

A Long Day
I had not planned for a long day, but it was clear I could make a campsite that was right on a lake. There was a gain of a 1,000 feet to get to it, though.

Another Ridge Hike with Better Weather
Almost had a repeat of the ridge walk with hail, but I had better weather than yesterday. There was no problem getting up to the ridge.

Caught on a Mountain Ridge
It’s about to storm and I’m caught on a mountain ridge! I’m the highest thing on that ridge, which makes me a target. I walk faster.

Frost on My Tent!
That’s frost on my tent. I set up camp in an open field last night and boy, did it get cold. My new sleeping bag kept me warm, though.
