Kelly and I headed out early. The drive went well but we did see and Elk a little to close on the way up. Nice Bull and the only one we would see although we heard one bugle on the Derrick trail. Started in the dark but was light out when we started getting to the Maple trees. A little color by the Purgatory turn off and some nice color in the mile before the spring. The only sign of this weeks fire was the last saddle before dropping down to the spring. The few hikers we talked to didn’t know there was a fire. A little color here and there on the way down Horton. We had a little hiking left in us and went over to See canyon trail and did a couple miles east on Highline. Some nice color there. I think there will be more color for the next couple weeks but just a guess. Nice to get out on trail and hike with Kelly! Like HAZ, she rocks!
