Finally! Back to beautiful Colorado days! The sun was back and clouds clearning out. Even was able to dry everything out during a lunch break. Not much on the way of views though, so the pictures are limited. Walking through forest and high alpine pastures with cows, lots of cows.
The issue of the day was water, first, all the water was from cow country so had to be very carefully with filtering and sanitation. Second there wasn’t much water. There was a stretch of 11 miles without a reliable water source. That means carrying alot of water.
Had to take all that into account while planning the day. I ended up calling the day short and stopping at a reliable water source. It turned out to be a beautiful water source. Had to hike an extra half mile and 400ft down but it was worth it!
