Yesterday I wanted to get as high as possible…

Opinion by Gerald Trumbule

…so we drove to Mt. Evans for a day trip above 14,000 ft (no drugs involved).

The mountain goats were very accommodating..

the mountain sheep a little less so.
We found a little picnic spot off of CO 103, and although it was raining hard, we had a nice lunch in our van.

Living in Denver, it’s very easy to forget where you are on the planet, and a trip like this, with the scent of the pine forest in the rain, can bring you back to your center. Highly recommended.
