The snow is still plentiful all over the mountains and frankly I didn’t feel like dealing with it last weekend but I really wanted to get close to 10,000 ft high. Plus I have been feeling sadly out of shape so I picked my favorite standby, Bergen Peak (Hike Details here). The day was actuallyContinue reading “Bergen Peak(Repeater), Evergreen CO hiked 5/24/14”
