Coming out for the weekend and I can't decide what to do. Looks like snow isn't a big issue and the forcasts look pretty good. We don't get in until Friday evening and we leave on the 0-dark-thirty Monday morning so we are looking to stay within an hour or two of the airport so it limits our options. We're doing Kili in December and we've done a great job, for flatlanders, of getting up high every month. Here are a few things I've thought about.
- Democrat/Bross/Lincoln if the road to Kite Lake is open. I heard there was some construction closures. Short milage and a lot of time up high. Can always have fun in Breck for the weekend and prices should be down. ( This is what I'm leaning towards)
- Staying in Lyons and bumming around in RMNP, Meeker or Mount Lady Washington. I like the Aspen Leaf motel right across from Oskar Blues. It would have been right up my grandpa's alley.
- Pikes peak via the crags route. We've never really spent anytime in the Springs. This is probably the lowest on the list but I think it would be a good time to tick off Pikes with the lack of crowds and snow.
I'm not set on having to do a 14er just looking for a good day.
