Wednesday hike with artistry by Linda and Margie (thanks, my camera ran out of energy).
We followed a trail to the pass in the Sangres. This was more or less where lots of Indians of many tribes traveled (we think). It was also the passage of
Zebulon Pike and his men in the winter (1806), Antoine Robidoux (hauling trade goods from Bent's Old Fort on the prairie to his trading post at Fort Uncompahgre), and John Charles Fremont in 1848.

You are welcome to take our Monday hike all winter. Our Wednesday "hike" will be a drive over the mountains to several short strolls among the aspen (often the best show in Coloradp) topped off with a lunch at
Platoro. Both of these events will start at 9 a.m. departure from the South Fork Visitor Center.
