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.

My wife and I hiked the C-470 trail for a few miles. It is a cement paved trail that is popular with bikers. It parallels Hwy CO-470 for a long ways and is very noisy due to the passing traffic.

My wife and I hiked from Red-Tail Park to Dad Clark Trail. Most of it was concrete-paved, but the last part was dirt trail. We hiked up to Highland Point and then turned around. I forgot to turn my app off when we finished at 5.1 miles and didn't realize it until I drove off, so the track file is inaccurate in distance.

My wife and I hiked up to Adams Falls and down to Grand Lake on the way back. Short, easy hike.
