Pretty excited, spoke to a tribal rep for the Arapaho/Shoshone and my chosen road/TH is open ( permit to cross the res required) although washed out in spots. The trail will take me to over 11K for 6 miles in alpine tundra and views of the continental divide. Then things will get interesting as I cross two possibly snowy passes on the divide twice in a lasso loop covering about 40+ miles of territory I haven't seen. Got my cleats, bug dope, headnet, sunscreen. Not a lot of info on the area as it is not as accessible as the western side TH's. I do cross a small permanent glacial field. Waters are reportedly high with the Winds getting a lot of snow this year and snowmelt is raging. I can't wait!!! _________________ You can rest when you're dead |

I wanna go I wanna go!
Jeez, you just keep us all in envy mode all the time, Letty! Well, at least I can console myself--I got myself out backpacking again this summer, after over a year of no backpacking. Twice so far, and another one this weekend!
Have fun, we will be watching for your trip report and photoset. Are you soloing it or is your friend going along, too? |
