  • Colorado Trip Report
    COLORADO HIKING TRIP REPORT edited by Bruce Bente Summary Twenty CMC hikers and friends enjoyed a great 11-day trip to Rocky Mtn. National Park in Colorado. 17 hikers stayed for the entire period , while three joined the group for part of the time. During this time, we hiked about 15 trails, hiking about 75 miles total with a total ascent of about 15,000 ft. Weather ranged from temperatures of 30 to 65 degrees, with winds up to 60 mph, and snow depth from none up to knee-high. Not the summer weather we’re used to in North Carolinas! Testimonials *Another (the 3rd) of great hiking trips arranged by Jack & Susan Fitzgerald. This trip was different from the others in that it was all high altitude hiking. The high elevation made for some challenges in the elevation climbs which were numerous. To see a reading on my GPS of over 12,000 ft and recording all thirteen available satellites the first time was interesting to say the least. Thanks to all that I hiked with throughout the most strenuous hikes in the high altitudes. What great supportive comrades to be hiking with. Truly an experience that will be remembered for years. –Carroll *Rocky Mountain National Park was beyond my expectations. Its majestic mountains kept changing with the weather and/or ones location. I was surprised at the openness of the meadows, wild flowers still blooming, lily pads on lakes, elk bugling, snow, aspen leaves turning color, not only yellow but red. Getting to go to the Juried Craft Fair was interesting and comparing Western NC art to the West--the Baldpate Inn with its unique key room and menu were interesting--a hot tub and a wonderful condo with friends all around--a great trip.
