We made another trip into our favorite Colorado wilderness area- the Weminuche, more specifically, Leviathan Lake.
North Crestone Lake
A backpack and trail run around North Crestone Lake, Comanche Pass, the Phantom Terrace, and 13ers.
Cotton Lake and Sangre Summits
A peakbagging and trailrunning day trip to some 13ers above Cotton Lake in the Sangres

Thunder Pyramid with the Dalai Lama
His Holiness the Dalai Lama was in Aspen this past weekend.
