Kali enjoyed the hike but water was scarce, we had to improvise. Hot day for a long haired dog! |

What a great hot day to bag these 2 4000'ers! Grabbed another redline and got to traverse the summits North to South. Saw about 10 people all day, including Jeb Bradley. Hot and muggy day as everyone already knows. I love the ruggedness of this traverse and was overjoyed to do it again. Lots of climbing on this trail, 23 miles 6900'. Thank you Denise for a great day out! |
