Trekkers friend Nicole met us at Charcoal Kilns. Trekker was planning to go half way, so Nicole and I continued to the summit. Trekker ended up surprising us, he didn't stop and kept going. We went up with him and summitted again.

Looks like Sunday was a fun one. My knee was not up for another day but seemed to recoop quick this week. The Claret Cup is beautiful, amazing how it grows in such harsh conditions.

My knee pain was gone Sunday. Trekker fixed it!

I had never seen Claret Cup blooms, we saw a few of them out there. Beautiful!

Where's Trail Bud pics?

SN...The Claret Cup are amazing..never seen anything like those before! The color is so rich and vibrant, very beautiful. Beautiful pictures & looks like you all had a wonderful adventure on both days. Ridgeline thank you for sharing your beautiful pictures too! Glad you had good weather
