The colors are full, red and yellow, with some oranges. The days now are clear (today) and hoping it will stay that way for a few more until it all falls off.
In reply to - Dave Osbourne posted an update: Let the snowshoeing begin! Snow in the Gore Range as of about 1-2 hours ago… Hopefully the winter 2010/11 forecasts are right and we are going to have above average precip, slightly colder than average temps. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. · View -

Climbing and Scrambling in the Gore Range: 1 year, 4 months ago · ViewI have been up Hail Peak 3 times this season. His first 7/7/10 ascent was on the north face. Apparently he is trying to get to it in all matter of fashion. I don’t sign those things, but went up with D. Goldwater this spring, then lead two trips up to it with others, both [...]

If you want to make a great long one day hike out of things, try starting at 5 AM at Deluge TH, then up to Snow Peak, down and up to Hail, and over to Zodiac View and then down to the TH. About 10+ hours you can expect for the motivated hiker. 16+ miles, 6800+ vert. Views on all three peaks are really quite something. Sleet could be done with some skill, we passed due to complexity and limited time.

This past week, a long but good one. Aug 5th, Booth Lake patrol work. Aug 9th, Mount Powell. Aug 10th, Snow/Hail/Zodiac View. In between I had day hikes that focused on mushrooming. What a season we are having, and NAMA is going on right now in Winter Park. Boom, great year for hiking and mycology.

Hiking the Gore Range: 1 year, 6 months ago · ViewIts a fun mildly popular day hike loop which I now call the “Three Lakes Loop”. I swim in as many alpine lakes as I can, and yes its chilly.

Seems like the pattern is that it snows in late September, then everything melts off and dries out for a bit for about two weeks. Maybe you’ll be lucky enough to enjoy those super clear, crisp and beautiful Fall days in the Gores.
