| Trail along the ridge |
Well, it's been a lovely week in Colorado, now that there's less snow to plow/swim/slosh through. Unfortunately, that window of time before the bugs come out began closing as we left Frisco- good thing I picked up my bug net and Deet! Hiking along, we've been able to do larger mileage mostly, though the elevation has begun changing from going up and staying up to up and down and up again. We hit our lowest elevation-wise points on the trail in Colorado going into Grand Lake. At a measly 8,000 something feet in elevation, I felt like I was drinking the air it was so thick!

We will soon be moving onto a new state- Wyoming- and leaving the high elevation for a while as well, dropping down into the desert before heading back up into the Wind River Range. My brain has begun to feel fried coming into towns sometimes, and that's how I know I've been in the woods for not long enough!
