Clouds and a bit of afternoon rain hardly dampened my enthusiasm for a hike during the prime aspen golds of a Colorado autumn.
Our group of 5 meet at the crowded East Portal of Moffat Tunnel parking lot. I’d only been here in the winter before and barely recognized the place without a ground blizzard.
It would be difficult to pick a nicer lunch spot than the shores of one of the Crater Lakes.
Figuring we had just enough time to make a quick foray to the upper Crater Lake we started up a trail-less steep slope and then rolled over a small hump to drop down on the upper lake.
Following closer to the main drainage on our return we circled back to the lower lakes and the trail to hurry out and make it to evening plans.
Beautiful!!
I hope your evening plans included GABF!
Nope, I had a friend-of-a-friend wedding to attend that evening.
Did you go at all that weekend? So sad.
Nope, never been (and really not all that interested – it sounds like such a crowd scene).
Aw………… thanks for a new background picture for my computer.
