    Colorado Lake Abyss Hike

    Did a 3-day with my son up the Lake Abyss trail North of Grant, CO. Wonderful trip even though we didn't make it to the lake. Dad was willing but his legs weren't. We still had a fantastic time. Lot's of father/son talk and taking in the beauty of Colorado in the spring. Not much in the way of pictures but the one below sums up the trip nicely.

    We took along an 11' gathered end with a Warbonnet Traveler bug and 3-season Yeti plus a Blackbird, EE TQ and HG 3-season Incubator. We used an old Cabela's tarp along with a Superfly for tarpage. Overnight lows were a degree or so above freezing and both of us slept warm.

    Overall a great trip!



    Lot's of cairns...and we added to some. Here's an example of my son's balance ability:

    Where ever you go, there you are?

    Re: Colorado Lake Abyss Hike

    Right on... Getting out with the kids is always a good time, even if you have to adjust your destination. I'm hoping for more trips with mine this summer.
