Gotta get away (from the ‘resort’)
I’m not one to spend much time at resorts. I dislike the encapsulated, packaged feel of ‘outdoor fun’ that one finds at such places. But Randi had a conference at Beaver Creek, and so up we went. After trying–and failing–to have any reasonably nice experience hiking right from the resort hotel, we went on a short drive down US 6 and found this marvelous trailhead at the end of a side road up a promising draw. A spectacular Friday afternoon with no other people on the trail, and certainly no trucks and front-end loaders sprucing up the resort for summer.
