Mt. Evans - cold! 30 degrees and 30mph winds. Mt. Bierstadt is in the background. We drove up Mt. Evans, highest paved road in N. America - it is sketchy and narrow in too many places.
Hiked up to about 12,500 and drove the rest of the way. Lots of clothes were required - 85 in Denver, 60 at the Trailhead, and freezing at the summit.
Tucker was psyched on his pack-pack. It gave an otherwise ADD dog purpose and focus. He stayed on the trail all day and waited for me often. Quite sure he had the best day ever hiking to Mt. Evans as he found snow, cold streams to romp through, good smells out the car window, and the honor of carrying my rain and cold weather gear.
