And ...Yup, it was wet and cold everywhere it seems.<br />And GZ, you surely have great opportunities nearby! So too does FC and Lakewood -- which I was able to appreciate even more when trapped in Aurora!<br /><br />"I went to the [mountains] because I wished to live deliberately" -- the morning jaunts are intended to beat the misanthropy out of me. Ha! I've heard many other runners say the same. I think it works, because I was in a talkative mood with the college/hometown/sports team sweater-wearing tourists in the bottom 2 miles of the trail. That lasted until I stopped in Estes and became overwhelmed with the crowds as usual.<br /><br />Mostly, though, as InsideTrail put it, I expect this blog to remain one of the 200 or so happy/sunshiny blogs out there.mike_hinterberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02817872376341966540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-593777137946937666.post-39379381066040937992011-09-20T09:18:27.719-07:002011-09-20T09:18:27.719-07:00Malcontent's version of an ultra ... awesome. ...Malcontent's version of an ultra ... awesome.

So far I've read yours, Dakota's, Brendan Trimboli's. Brrr!<br /><br />Still looks fun though. That basin is spectacular. I last went on a partly cloudy day (flat light), and I'd really like to get up there on a totally clear day. <br /><br />You really get great views on the upper trail spur from Allenspark. You can do a loop up there from Calypso Falls, and take a left back down into the valley to the the Wild Basin lot.<br /><br />I was amazed at how long it took since I was hiking that day. It took me hours to do a round trip to Ouzel Falls and I don't think I got even halfway down the valley. The basin is huge.mtnrunner2https://www.blogger.com/profile/10974435572236740294noreply@blogger.com
