Day 60 mile 1460 – Leaving Colorado, Entering Wyoming, Pt. 2

(June 23, 2018, Steven “Blast” Halteman, Hiking the CDT)

Ok..there were too many photos to put into one post!

Continuing the journey from Colorado into Wyoming…This is Pt. 2, where I meet Mountain Goats at 14,000 ft, reach the summit of Grey’s Peak, and try to solve romantic mysteries.

Five hours along a knife ridge to reach Grey’s Peak at something over 14,000 feet. Surprised this guy who went running along rocks that I was crawling over (photo by Steven “Blast” Halteman)

Still cruising.

About to step into Wyoming away from Colorado.

The hike endless.

Some days are magical strolling through shadowed forests alone with gossamer spider strands trailing from my face.

And some days are all mud, moose charges and endless grinding climbs upward.

Kind of like life.
