Carie and I backpacked from Aspen over Maroon Pass towards Crested Butte over the July 4th weekend. The trail begins at Maroon Lake, in front of the very famous Maroon Bells.
We meandered through the very famous Aspen trees of Aspen,
And made our way to Crater Lake,
We’re a Chaco sandals family,
The trail got muddy,
I almost got stuck,
At the top of the pass, looking down where we came up,
Other side of the pass, looking towards Crested Butte,
This side was very green,
Still lots of snow melt,

Ah, nothing like the feeling of fresh mud between your toes, unless you can catch a lift of air like the high-flying Carie — oh,oh,oh what a feeling to be climbing in the Rockies! Never get tired of seeing those beautiful Maroon Bells:)
