| partners | | The three of us headed to Colorado for four days of adventure! Our original plan was to backpack to Chicago Basin but there was heavy rain in the forecast and I was getting over a sinus infection so we decided to change our plan and car camp with a series of day hikes. We started with the Cascade Creek Trail after getting camp set up above Purgatory ski resort.
The three of us started hiking in full rain gear as a light drizzle fell. The going is relatively easy as you follow the trail north through a mix of open meadows and forest lined with Aspen. After a couple of miles you come to Cascade Creek which had a high flow due to all the snowmelt. We continued north on the east side of the creek and then came to a point where the trail crosses the creek starting a lasso loop. We opted to keep our feet dry and continued north for a another mile and then turned around and headed back. The return went by quickly and we headed over to Purgatory to grab some dinner before returning to camp. This was the perfect hike to start off our trip. |
