Wilderness
Today’s main hike was one of those picture perfect hikes on a picture perfect day days at a picture perfect place. For the aesthetically-impaired, I’ve composed this photograph. I still wonder who had the chutzpah to put up this sign–King Bluntman?
This photo was taken near Piney Lake on the Piney Creek trail outside of Vail, looking up into the Eagle’s Nest Wilderness. Wilderness it may be, but don’t expect solitude–at least until the trail gets steep a mile or two in! 6.25 miles on this hike–but one of three today on Piney Ridge.
