| “May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds.” - Edward Abbey |
| This is a view of Colorado's Front
Range from Marshall Flats between Golden and Boulder. The contrast
between flats and mountains is quite dramatic. Imagine what the first
settlers heading west experienced with a view like this after crossing
a thousand miles of flatland through the plains of the midwest. To the right is remote and pristine Chasm Lake below Long's Peak, the highest point in the state. It's a moderately demanding hike to Chasm Lake that I look forward to taking again. During July and August a hike to the top of Long's Peak is possible while the snow is gone, but don't even consider it unless you're prepared for a very long day starting in darkness to avoid afternoon lightning storms. |
