A few cups of coffee, pumpkin pancakes and eggs fueled a mid-morning 4+ mile run on the Boreas Pass Road. Afterwards, Tara and I re-packed for a simpler hike up McCullough Gulch. Wildflowers were barely out and a lot of snow remained to melt.
Still, White Falls was beautiful as always and we hiked to the lake above, excited for the alpine views.
The lake was its usually windy self, so we headed back down the trail to cook and grill the plunder from a visit to the Breckenridge Farmer’s Market.
Beautiful!
It’ll be even prettier in a couple weeks when the wildflowers really come out.
That late?!
Yup, this year we had a huge amount of snow up in the mountains that is still melting. Of course, we’ve had flowers out in the lower foothills since March, but the central and northern mountainous parts of Colorado were hammered with snow.
