Yet another recent dayhike through gorgeous scenery in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado... This time from
Bear Lake past Two Rivers and Helene, down to Odessa and back ("closing
the loop" from 13 days prior), and adding a one-way past Bierstadt back to
the car at the Park&Ride... 12.8 mi, nearly 8 hr, 2071' gain.
This was my fifth dayhike in the last month (four with Don), after getting
back into it and (painfully) into shape for it. Although still overweight
and having some kind of weird hypoxemia the first couple of hours... Dizzy,
lightheaded, sparkly vision, having to rest often. Not altitude... Maybe
prostate drugs? Always improves later in the day.
