Colorado Tour

“Our family just finished a tour of Colorado. Our first stop was Mount Evans. I was not expecting much, for some reason I thought it would be pretty commercial. It was, of course, slammed but it turned out to be a beautiful destination.

The short I took ( http://www.vimeo.com/27610206 ) features a large goat herd and a handful a scraggly bighorn. I did not know this at the time but that appears to be the state of things. According to some the goats are displacing the sheep.[img]

“It ain't Pikes Peak. I always liked Mt. Evans better. It's a nice hike in the winter when the road is closed.”

“make to the Chicago Lakes on the way up to the top, nice day hike area”

“We did not make it to the Chicago Lakes, we were acclimating and did very little hiking that day. A few among us were a bit light headed.”

“Chicago Lakes/Mt Evans today. The hike was great it seems most people drive, only saw 1 hiker. Said she does it every day.
Top was kind of like Mt Washington in NH, crowded, without the gift shop.”

“What's with this "Chicago Lakes" stuff? I only know Lake Michigan and Calumet Lake.”
