Mount Huron

We headed up to Leadville for a weekend in July. We were unable to find a spot at a campground, so we headed into the National Forest and found a much more beautiful spot, which we had to ourselves. Aaron set up camp while I read, then we relaxed around the fire until Rob and Jenna arrived.



Saturday morning, Aaron and Leroy headed up to hike Mount Huron. He took some beautiful shots along the way.





He summited in about four hours, which was much faster than anticipated.





While Aaron was out, Rob did some training for the Leadville 100 by running over Hope Pass, while Jenna and I hung around the campsite. When both Aaron and Rob returned, they iced their sore legs by sitting in Clear Creek.



That afternoon Aaron successfully hung and test drove our hammock for the first time. He has plans of sleeping in it on future trips; we'll see how that pans out.



Sunday morning we drove back to reality.
