Today was a great day. Didn't go exactly as we had planned. We were planning on hiking a 14,000 peak today but the pass that we had to go through closed due to a landslide. It would have taken us 5 hours to drive around the mountain so we chose to do Plan B. We hiked the Gilpin Lake Trail #1161 to the Gold Creek Lake Trail #1150 all in the Mt. Zirkel Wilderness area. It was 44 degrees at the start and ended at 73 degrees. We climbed to about 10,000 ft. and hiked at least 11 miles and it took around 7 hours. The view was breathtaking every step of the way. The first lake we hiked to was spectacular, the mountains were awesome, and the waterfalls and rivers kept you memorized. Steve and I both did well on this hike and really enjoyed ourselves. We will see how we feel tomorrow!
