In Steamboat Springs... Hiking Never Summer Range Next!

I am in Colorado!  Yes, I am back in my native state, and I am loving the hiking along the Continental Divide.  The weather has been great, the scenery is outstanding, and I have seen a ton of wildlife.  Up to this point, I have liked this trail more than the Appalachian and Pacific Crest Trails combined!

I had a wonderful hiking experience in the Mount Zirkel Wilderness, and the group I am hiking with decided to take an unpublished, double secret hiking route around Mount Zirkel.  You can read about it here.  Needless to say, we deviated from the official route, and followed the true Divide through the wilderness area.  It was awesome.

I will be leaving Steamboat Springs on Sunday morning, and I will be heading toward the Never Summer Range, and Rocky Mountain National Park, which is east of here.  The trail will start to bend south again towards Grand Lake, where my brother will pick me up on Thursday afternoon.

I just uploaded photos to my Flickr site, and my trail journal is completely up to date, so check them out.  More updates to come on Thursday!
