Hung around the Salida Hostel, read, and did some maintenance on my battered feet. The insoles for my shoes finally made their way from Monarch Mountain Lodge.

The family took me right to the Salida Hostel where I’m staying for a couple of days. What an amazing gift to meet this family and receive their help.

In the morning everyone got going early. Hot Springs is the target for today. This is a resort town with the main attraction being the warm spring waters.

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.
