Lumper Hike last Wednesday on the Abyss Trail up in the Guanella Pass/Mt. Evans Wilderness area. Looking for some late turning golden aspen, but only found a few stragglers. Instead we found SNOW! Regardless, it was wonderful, warm and beautiful with the blue sky and glorious views of Mount Bierstadt, the Sawtooth ridge, and Mount Evans playing peek-a-boo with us all morning. Note all the "water hazards" we had to negotiate. The trail follows Scott Gomer Creek. Seven of us turned around after a few miles, but five others went on in search of beaver ponds farther up the trail. Coffee at Starbucks on I-70 was the finale, of course! |
