Caleb & Kelli got to make a beautiful memory on their 3rd anniversary, I have a feeling they are going to experience many more in those mountains .<br /><br />We understand there is a forrest fire in the Cimarrons around Owl Crk Pass today and the Sneffels range got that beautiful dusting of snow those photographers are always waiting for.<br /><br />We are in the throws of Indian Summer here in N. Calif, but anxiously awaiting our 1st big rain of the season and put an end to this wild fire threat.<br /><br />D&A Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134981800236544647.post-2190099497707069062019-10-22T19:12:38.662-06:002019-10-22T19:12:38.662-06:00Lovely photos as always.

The one time I did that hike in 2018 I took the lollipop you described, to Island Lake first, then descending to Ice Lake just as a thunderstorm was closing in. (I'd love to see that blue in full sunshine someday.) <br /><br />That trail to the ridge is Grant Swamp Pass. It's part of the famous Hardrock 100 course, descending from the pass to Chapman Gulch, just beyond Ophir. I went up there during my hike and decided the descent is not for the faint of heart, and didn't try it. It's a steep scree slope, and looked loose and chundery ... right up your alley. :) Jill Homerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02983065990450931943noreply@blogger.com
