These are some pictures from my trip out to Colorado in July. On the fourth of July I hiked up to Handies Peak(14,059ft) down in the San Juan Mountains and then on July 5th I hiked up to Buckskin Pass(12,500ft) in White National Forest near Aspen. I don't have time to write a detailed report but I thought I'd get the pictures up. Eventually I'll get around to putting up some of my other pics from the other days of the trip and hopefully writing detailed reports of the hikes and drives.
