Went up to the high country with my brother in law and my nephew. We got a site in the Aspen Campground and then set up camp. Afterward we walked over to the lake where Neil and Jacob did some fishing. During that time I made a quick loop of the lake. It was a nice and easy hike with some nice views along the way. We all walked back to our site afterward and made some dinner and then settled in to a campfire. Nice little weekend.

I planned a nice, easy trail run for Sunday morning to accomplish a few things. First, to do my last long run before next weekend's marathon. Second, exlpore some new trails. Lastly, see the sunrise over the rim. I accomplished that and had a little excitement as well. More than 20 elk crossed the path in small groups with the last one being a massive bull that hung around for a while before disappearing into the forest. Did I mention it was 58 degrees when I started this morning? How nice is that.

What a great day of hiking. With the prediction of thunderstorms for the state, I packed my rain gear. When I parked at the Rim Top TH, the sky was mostly sunny. I left the rain gear (expect for the rain jacket) in the Jeep.

I headed down the General Crook trail to the Carr Lake/Aspen trail. I took the Carr trail to a trail labeled as "C". This "C" trail looped back to the General Crook trail near the See Canyon area. I headed back down General Crook to Carr trail, then the Carr TH, where I had lunch.
I headed back to the Carr/Aspen trail before headed back on the General Crook. I finished the hike off by going down the 235 Bike trail for a bit.

The weather was perfect. The day was half sunny, half cloudy. At times it looked like it was going to pour, did it never did rain a drop. I didn't see any other people hiking, just a herd of deer crossing the General Crook trail.
