13 Platoro "Hike" Photos

One of the most scenic areas in Colorado lived up to its reputation on this Sept. 30.  Eight of us enjoyed the great colors and the rivers and reservoirs and pond.  We walked three times--a total of about 1/4 of a mile.  We make this trip every year; this day was one of the best of the 14 trips I've made.    And, the food folks fed us well at the Lodge where I thought things would be closed.  It will be, but only late tomorrow afternoon. 
You probably got Dennis' note today that he won't be available for any more hikes this Fall.  He expects to be back next fall.  So—our next hikes will be Monday and  Wednesday.
We will look for you then at 9 a.m. at the Visitor Center in South Fork. 
Question about Wednesday:  Would you like to cross the SLValley for a hike in or near the Great Sand Dunes? That might mean an 8 a.m. start, due to the distance.  Please respond if that is a good idea for you.  —Doug Knudson    873-5239  or douglasfir636@gmail.com
