There are trails all over the area. I started with a 13 mile round trip hike right from the campground to the top of a nearby mountain. At the top looking towards Cinnamon Pass:

The greatness of a day can be measured by how tired your dog is at the end of that day.

I stopped at an RV park for a shower and there were Marmots all over the joint:

New day - hiking Alpine Gulch. The trail crosses Henson Creek 7 times in the first few miles - some precarious log crossings.

Notice anything unusual about this pic?

Had to get out of here fast as weather was moving in. Got a lot of rain and hail on the way down but still a good day.

Kokopelli - I filled out the change of address card with the Post Office - if you wouldn't mind throwing my mail in a bag until I arrive I'd appreciate it!


No problem DD - it will be waiting for you :)

Great report as usual. You do such a nice job of photo documenting your adventures and find such interesting places to go and things to photograph.

Thanks for sharing.

Great Pix as usual DD. Glad to see you guys weren't "rough housing." Maybe we should all move to Trinidad.

Dear Aaron,

Thanks for encouraging us to get out there and wander.

I bet I'd really like meeting your dad. B)
