Just another romp in the park... Rocky Mountain NP that is. I thought I'd never been up the North Longs Peak trail beyond Boulder Brook, but had forgotten descending that way... in 1985!

Anyway I hoped to hike it all the way to Granite Pass this time. My friend Sue Wolber (RIP 11/23/2024, sniff) and I had a great day out, but we just weren't fast enough to gain the last 0.7 mi and 500' or so before turning back as it was getting late. It was still a fabulous day out.
