Here’s a recap of this unforgettable experience. Day 1: North Tenmile to Eccles Pass This was an easy head-start day. I hiked in about 3pm [...] -

Made it back to Frisco about 6pm tonight. I’ll make a trip report once I digest it all, look at the pics, and recover. Wonderful time though. Couple small adjustments… some inadvertent, but did complete the loop. Mileage seemed even bigger than I thought it would be. Very tired and my feet hurt but so happy. Thanks for your help over east booth pass. The tarn and my first view of Upper Piney Lake are something I will never forget.

Alright, going in solo tomorrow for 6 days / 5 nights. Here is the plan walking out my back door in Frisco Tuesday afternoon:
Day 1: North Tenmile – Gore Range Trail to camp at Eccles Pass.
Day 2: cross Eccles and Red Buffalo Pass – down Gore Creek Trail – through East Vail (yuck) to Booth Lake Trail – over East Booth Pass to camp at Upper Piney Lake.
Day 3: Upper Piney River Trail to Piney Lake / Soda Lakes Trail / Upper Catarct Trail to camp at Cataract Creek.
Day 4: climb Mt. Powell / Gore Range Trail / Lost Lake Trail / Gore Range Trail to camp at Slate Creek.
Day 5: Gore Range Trail to Salmon / Willow Lakes Trail to camp at Willow Lakes
Day 6: climb Red Mountain and descend to Red Buffalo Pass / over Eccles Pass and hike back out to Frisco.
Should be epic – hope it works out like I’ve planned.Hi Scott,
What a great trip you have planned! Best of luck, especially day 4 – Powell, then down Black Creek and over to Slate – that’s a long day. I hope you’ll post a trip report and some pictures.

Climbing and Scrambling in the Gore Range: 6 months, 3 weeks ago · ViewThanks for that… I had not read it and that helps… looks like the author is recommending East Booth Pass. I wish I could help you a little more, but I never really knew I was near Eisemann Hut until it was all over and I looked back at what had happened later. I never [...]

Photo Gore10 shows my error last time. I did not have enough extra ”lost” time built in to my plan to try to correct it somehow.
