Members of the ACAA hiking
group are accustomed to seeing alpine lakes, snow fields, and above tree
line landscapes. Core members have also been exposed to unpleasant weather conditions. We could experience all of it tomorrow.
This hike, off Guanella Pass road, will provide yet another
opportunity for hikers to enjoy the high country. Be sure to pack
rain gear (top and bottom), extra socks, gloves, and cotton
top (for the ride home). Throw in a
granola bar for that moment on trail when you are tired and need a quick boost and satisfy the hungries.
Rated easy/moderate, this OAB,
3 mi., RT, hike should make for a shorter day than our last outing. TH elevation is 11,200’ with elevation gain
of 1,000’. There may be snow fields to
maneuver so be prepared. Wear boots with
good tread and support. Also be prepared
for mud and steep sections, spring/runoff crossings, and nasty wind gusts.
Remember, It’s all about the
Journey!
