Weminuche Creek Trail - 6/17/2025  [View Log Page]
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.

Popular Bike Trail
C-470 Trail - 5/13/2025  [View Log Page]
Rating: halfstar Difficulty: 1star Solitude: halfstar
Distance: 3.87 Miles Duration: N/A

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.

Red-Tail Park to Dad Clark Trail
Dad Clark Trail from Red-Tail Park - 5/12/2025  [View Log Page]
Rating: 1star Difficulty: 1point5stars Solitude: 1star
Distance: 5.10 Miles Duration: N/A

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.
