Rocky Mtn High 1975 - Yours Truly Hiking Up Flattop Mountain

[ Sizes: Orig | Med | Small | Thumb ]

Yours Truly hiking up Flattop Mountain in July 1975 with Half Mountain and Mount Lady Washington in the background. Don't laugh at the wardrobe choices! And that's a camping permit hanging from my pack. I still have the leather visor I was wearing on that trip. (Thanks Mountain Jim for your help with this picture!) Scanned from Kodak Instamatic slide

Cotton t-shirt, external frame backpack and no trekking poles. I'm glad I got into this stuff after this point in time although I do remember having an olive army-type rucksack as a kid. Good stuff!

July, 1975? That takes me back. In July, 1975, I was on the John Muir Trail.

That looks like my 1st backpack. My how things have changed! I carry about 1/2 the weight, go twice the distance and am at least twice the age I was when I started backpacking in Big Bend Nat'l Park back in '74. Thank goodness for technology and lightweight material! Love your photos.
