My last work week hike. Just a beautiful hike through a mix of fir and aspen forest by a live creek full of springs snow melt. No great views despite the trail opening up to a few meadow areas along the way.

This trail is the North entry to the Columbine-Hondo high country including Lobo, Flag and Gold Hill. I'll have to hit those next trip as I am heading to Latir Mesa and Heart Lake tomorrow which every local I have spoken to has indicated as the prettiest part of the Sangre De Cristo.

Nobody on the trails. Had to walk through the campground due to a locked gate at the road. Probably started in the low 70's at 5 pm and finished in the low 60' at around 7 pm.
