Rito Alto Lake

Jul 7, 2020

Looking out at Rito Alto Lake. Most Coloradans know the Sangre de Cristo Mountains for the eight 14ers that reside within them. Sure, those summits are dramatic and any adventure in to see them is worthwhile. But if you look beyond that part of the range, you’ll see dozens of other valleys and lakes to explore, and seemingly countless 13,000 foot summits that are seldom visited. We recently took the...

It’s disappointing to have the spring season trashed by airborne dust and dirt though. 👎 Experts say the continuing drought in the American West is all but ensuring this spring phenomenon will happen with increasing frequency— and even earlier in the season— in the years ahead. 👎 Let’s hope those forecasts are wrong. The spring backcountry season is already short enough. 📷 @aspenchristy
