Colorado 13er: Golden Horn
Back in July, my friend asked me, mid-concert in the park, drinks in hand, if I would like to climb Golden Horn that weekend. I’m never one to turn down mountain adventure so I agreed, although I was slightly concerned about how slow I might be headed up the mountain.
After what felt like an early start (but not to shabby since we live close enough to wake up in our own beds), we found ourselves…
