After a hearty Tuesday breakfast in Aspen, we headed to the Snowmass Creek trail, where we would backpack about twelve miles and 3,000 feet of elevation change roundtrip.
Entering the wilderness!
Along the trail.
At about five miles we came to an open spot with a great view of a waterfall and nearby peaks, a nice spot to rest our weary feet.
We camped along Snowmass Creek on Tuesday, where we were able to pump water.
Resting after a dinner of Kathmandu Curry. Yum!
The craggy peaks behind our camp.
We hiked back out on Wednesday, retracing our steps, but downhill this time. What better way to spend Independence Day than enjoying the public wilderness that makes the U.S. such an interesting place. Keep your hands off the wildlands, Republicans!
