Crystal Lakes

Just on the back side of Peak 10 when you look to the south there is a valley with a lake in it. The lake is Crystal Lake and can be accessed by hiking or off-roading. The trail starts off pretty rocky and a bit of a climb. Once you get into the valley it opens up and is dirt until you get to the lake. The lake is beautiful and surrounded by mountains. The south mountain when you look at it has a few mine shafts. It is quite a hike through a scree field. The drive down was a prefect opportunity to see all the beautiful aspens changing.

Triathlon

I competed in a triathlon last week. Here are some pictures!

I won my age group!

Eccles Pass

Hiking the Gore Range
We started in Frisco and started on the Meadow Creek Trail and met up with the Gore Range Trail. At the intersection of the two trails the moon was just visible in between two peeks.

Looking just to the right of my head you see a saddle. That is Eccles Pass and our final destination.

 Here is a zoomed in picture of Eccles Pass.

This is the back side of Buffalo Mountain. You see the front every time you are in Silverthorne or Dillon. 

Another view from the top of Eccles Pass. The craggy Gore Range. If you head to the west you will be in Vail. 

 Here with my roommate.

Hiking down we had a good view of lake Dillon.
