| partners | | | Grand Parents offered to take kids overnight. Sarrah and I put plans together to hit some Hotsprings and do Mt. Princeton. I just finished upgrading Yertle’s sleeping platform as Sarrah was getting claustrophobic the last couple times camping. I moved the platform forward of the generator bay offering 12” more headroom above platform. Platform still stores in the original spot allowing for more storage, but still having room for Bernat underneath. Anyway, we went to cottonwood Hotsprings, but opted for Mt. Princeton instead. Soaked for awhile had dinner and returned creekside. About 10 pm and drove up Mt. Princeton rd. And camped at 11,200’ for an early start. Slept great and started the hike. This was Sarrah’s first 14er. Might be awhile before she does another as she had some difficulty particularly on way down with tired legs as her wrist is not fully healed and she was afraid with all the scree on this hike of falling and re injuring her wrist. This slowed her way down. Hindsight is 20/20 and although the AEG and mileage fit the bill probably should have found a different one for first hike. Saw hundreds of Pika. I enjoyed the hike particularly at Sarrah’s pace, but probably won’t do this one again for some time. Not a big fan of road walking even if you can get to the camping spots beyond the towers which was no problem for Yertle. Can’t imagine why someone would hike it from the trailhead. |
