High/Low

The high route looks better from down low.  So says Pounce, and I agree.  At least when the weather is bad or could be bad.  We hiked 13 miles of beautiful trail.  On the way we saw elk, deer, pika, marmot, a ptarmigan, and heard coyotes.

 We also saw a lot of southbound CT hikers and they all asked us "where are you coming from?  Funny.  Well then we dropped down to the bike path at Copper mountain and walked through Frisco and on to Silverthorne. Bit was a nice walk.  We got a different view of the mountains and it was a pretty route.  It followed a river for a while and went by the Dillon reservoir.  It gave our legs a break to.  We caught up to Hikeaholic and he weathered the storm ok.
