We knew there was a general store there but were thrilled to find a restaurant too! Ate some big food and caught up with some emails lounging on the couches outside. And of course....
One of these is because I know I should, the other is because it's what I want!!
We spent about 2 hours lounging around, eating ice cream and finally dragged ourselves away at about 2:00. We had a few climbs, nothing major so we decided to hike later than normal to get closer to Salida. Tifs ending point and the first chance to do laundry in a week. P.U.
There was some really spectacular scenery today. The grand scale of these Collegiate Peaks is awesome.
Mount White
And then we saw this amazing sky!
We hiked late because we were deep in the woods and there were no flat spots for our tents and lots of downed trees. Finally found a 'flat' spot....if you consider a 30 degree angle flat😜. Gonna be a night spent climbing back up to the top of my tent!
Got in just in time to hang out food and throw up our tents.
Our longer hiking day thus far , even with a two hour break, we did 24 miles. Yeeha!
Beautiful photos of your scenery! Love all the heart shaped rocks too. Hope your good weather lasts. Those stormy posts on Murphy's blog were scary just to read about.
