Colorado Trail Day 8

Today was my first time ever above treeline in the western US outside of winter. I’ve been missing out

Poor sleep led to a slow morning. Only got moving with the promise of a breakfast sandwich at copper mountain. Then got slapped in the face by the prettiest views of my life. Still some east coast powder lingering up high. It felt like I was on the presi traverse but had the whole thing to myself. 

Trail reroute took me right through the ski village so chilled at the coffee shop there for like an hour and ate sandwiches. Booked it over Searle pass, Elk Ridge, and Kokomo pass in the rain, not sure when the lightning would start. All these afternoon thunderstorms are getting me back into trail running shape. Sheep and marmots chilling everywhere up there

Only planned for 24 today but didn’t wanna set up camp in the cold rain so just kept moving. Then was supposed to go another 3 to the next road crossing but ran into this guy “San Juan Ron 🐐” and his wife Catherine who are the head trail maintainers for CT segment 23 and offered me a ride to Leadville from the closer road crossing. Took them up on that. Camping behind a pizza restaurant in Leadville. Prob will zero here  

Campsite mi 109.4 to US Highway 24
