Started this morning at 7:45 for a drive up Mount Blue Sky (formerly Mt Evans), elevation 14130 at summit. Drive from home to the Mt. Goliath Natural Area (part of the Mt Blue Sky recreation area. Just kept climbing - the next few thousand feet of altitude gain offer expansive sites with views that just won't quit. Our stop at Summit Lake was shorter than planned as the main area was closed due to a medical emergenc, but we were able to snap some photos from a roadside stop next to the 13000' alpine lake. I spotted my first Marmot, and started seeing the goats. On our way back down we took a quick stop at Echo Lake for some leg stretching and gazing up at the beautiful high country we had just been in. Beautiful drive with gorgeous scenery.
