Colorado Hiking
















I’m back in Denver after a few days in Aspen. While in Aspen I caught up with friends, saw the Dalai Lama and got in some good hiking. The best day of hiking was with my good friend Dan. We started at Maroon Lake and headed up towards Willow Pass. Near the Pass we left the trail and climbed two un-named peaks. Both were just under 13,000 ft and offered spectacular views (see photos). While coming off one the peaks we encountered a group of approximately 25 Mountain Goats. After observing the goats we then headed over Willow Pass and East Snowmass Pass. At that point we followed East Snowmass Creek all the way down to Snowmass Village. By the end of the day we covered 18 miles of fantastic hiking in the Snowmass / Maroon Bells Wilderness.
