30 Mi CG to Weminuche Creek Trail to Rincon La-Vaca Trail

Rating: 4stars Difficulty: 4stars Solitude: 4stars
Distance: 8.33 Miles Duration: 5 hours, 56 minutes

I attempted to hike to The Window near the Rio Grande Pyramid.  I departed from 30 Mile Campground and headed up the Weminuche Creek Trail.  I then branched off on the Rincon La-Vaca Trail and headed up towards The Window.  At 8.33 miles, I decided to camp by a small pond because I was exhausted and feeling the effects of altitude sickness.  I had intended to camp at the 9.62 mile point, but I was bonking and had nothing left in the tank.  My backpack was far too heavy.  I tried to rest and sleep it off, but the next morning I still felt "off" so I did the responsible thing and get off the mountain.  Time to regroup and try again after I am in better shape.
