| My campsite tonight. Conifer and Aspen. Sweet! |
Stayed over at Brian and Lindsay's house last night. Good to see them, do some laundry and have a hot shower. They climbed Long's Peak on Saturday. 14,529 ft with a 5K ft elevation change from the parking lot.

People who attempt it show up at 2 or 3:00 AM so they can get down below treeline before afternoon thunderstorms roll in. Very dangerous climbing that is nearly vertical much the time and a mistake could well be fatal. Not something I could do!
I'm making a second attempt to explore the Fraser River canyon which is blocked from both ends by private property. Being that I'm from a town that has one of the few streets in the country with a Do Not Enter sign at both ends, I decided to use it as a model and access it from the middle. Found a Forest Service road that gets you a footpath which leads to the river and also has some nice dispersed camping .
