White River National Forest, Colorado.

My 3rd day intersected with the more traveled "4 pass loop" and was just a bit too crowded. Eventually, I was left with just the day hikers that came up to bag Snowmass Peak. Then, after crossing the creek on a natural log jam, I was just left with the rabbit. It was willing to try to eat my shoes while I was wearing them and it had another in the wings learning this poor behavior. From July 2014.

Capitol-Snowmass: Avalanche Creek

White River National Forest. 2nd day backpacking a lesser traveled "4 pass loop" found some trail hard to follow as Maroon Bells came into v

White River National Forest, Colorado.

Went to Aspen, CO a few weeks back and did the 4 Pass Loop. It was pretty cool.
