| no partners | | With my foot injury, windy spring weekends, and monsoon season, I never got out here to hike a 14er this year, until today. My waiting couldn't have been rewarded with better weather. For being at 14,420', I had the warmest, calmest, driest, and most pleasant weather I have ever had in Colorado, or at this altitude anywhere. The hike was great, and most aspen are near peak color. It wasn't even crowded, and I had the summit to myself for a while.
I'm glad I chose Harvard, as the basin hike was a lot nicer than clinging to some 4x4 road as you do on some of the 14ers a little further south. You do lose some distance views on the hike, but the scenery up high is so nice, you don't care. The trail was interesting, with granite stairs in many spots. Some might prefer the traverse to Columbia, but I got what I came for, and am glad I finally made it out. |
