Adventures of a Colorado (non) Native

So far the Front Range has proved to be a rather difficult place for dawn patrols. While trailheads are just over a half hour away, the approaches can necessitate a fairly early start. Fortunately my friend Kye was in town, you may remember him from the Rogers Pass trip report, to give me some company mulling over a cup of espresso at 3:30 the next morning.
Thanks for reading and enjoy the summer!

I was skiing up in the Indian Peaks late last week, a zone I used to ski frequently while living in Boulder through the 90s… I can’t believe how chock full those mountains still are this year! No doubt, the snowpack is still full of surprises…but June is going to be epic. It will be a good month to get to bed early… Be safe and have fun out there.

We were up by the Maroon Bells this past weekend and they’ve got significantly more than the Front Range. Shouldn’t be hard to get 12 months this year!

Always fun to pack up the car and root around somewhere new. Keep it up!
