Colorado: Part 1

We're on the road in Colorado this week- spending a couple days in Steamboat Springs. We drove through Boise and Green River, Wyoming to go straight to Denver, where we spent a couple of days with Land and Jenny in their cute house in Washington Park. Then we headed 45 minutes to Boulder where we got our permit to hike to Arapaho Pass. We hiked about 7 miles, starting at 10,000 ft and getting up to 11,900 at the pass. From the top we headed down over Caribou Pass to Columbine Lake, where we were the only ones camping. It was hot and dry until we got down to the lake, where it was lush and wet, and the quietest spot I've ever camped.

This one is from Harvard Basin, over the weekend. Wally is turning out to be a good hiker!
