Pole Hill Sunset Run
|
The
weather took a turn the night prior - a cold front came through and
dropped a reasonable bit of rain. This might clear some smoke from the
sky - a bit improved - but long views still ended up with some haze.
Temps were nice to a tad on the cool side - winter coats were put to
use with a no-top-no-doors jeep ride. Invited were a couple guests from Loveland. With the jeep having only one spare seat I'd need another vehicle joining in that would have a spare seat. A couple spare seats were available - a nice evening enjoyed by all. |
| On the road to Glen Haven - some horses enjoying a nice field. |
| Snacks at the Glen Haven General Store, nicely enjoyed, we're dropping down into Estes Park |
| On the trail. We'll make two "counter clockwise" loops tonight - leaving a nice overlook spot for last / nearing sunset. |
| The mix of tree types |
| One of the campsite spots - facing southeast |
| Same spot - exposing for the sky to see the mountains |
| The large meadow |
