Climbed solo with Bard Peak and Woods Mtn the Sunday after Thanksgiving to burn off that Turkey. Snowy cold morning gave way to a windy cold afternoon. Not too much snow above treeline but snowshoes came in handy below.

Climbed with brenta on cold, snowy, and breezy day. The altitude really seemed to affect me for some reason.

Great day, sunny, very windy. Views all the way to Longs and Meeker up north, to Bierstadt and company out east and views of the divide. Great day hike! little people traffic.

Climbed this with a new co-worker who has turned out to be one of my main climbing partners! Chased off the summit by some lightning, but otherwise a good day! A Tri-Centennial.

Perfect day, went up with a neighbor and it was his first peak. Also, we celebrated his first week being smoke free with a peak climb, awsome job for him.

What and awesome area. My wife and I had a great day with warmer temps and no wind. Only 3-5 inches of snow to contend with and excellent views from Long's to Holy Cross. Couldn't have picked a better late season day.
Route Climbed: Watrous Gulch Date Climbed: October 31, 2004
Windy and cold on the summit ridge. A storm was coming in so we didn't stay long and couldn't really see very much. A very cool view of Bard Peak though. A nice hike with easy access and a short drive from Denver.

Watrous GulchLeft trailhead at 7:10, reached summit at 9:45. Beautiful hike, not much of a trail up to the saddle. Just make your own way.

Watrous GulchI'm a little bit shocked that we didn't posthole down the entire Gulch at 2PM on a warm spring day. But not disappointed.
