I wanted to try something new in the vicinity of my daughter's home near Vail. I had initially planned on a shorter hike, but with cool temps and time I decided to hike up to Cow Head saddle and back.
35 degrees at 0530 at the trailhead was a bit shocking. The Douglas Spring trail is in excellent condition. It has a couple thousand rock steps which you don't notice too much ascending. Descending they make it hard to keep a good flow hiking though.
The scenery along the way is nice. I passed a few hikers on the way up and a lot on the last few miles finishing up. Good times. :)
