Image 1 — Very dry here in the Rockies - and that has meant I’m able to hike higher much earlier than normal. I hiked up to Hope Pass on Saturday- near the town of Twin Lakes, Colorado.

Very dry here in the Rockies - and that has meant I’m able to hike higher much earlier than normal. I hiked up to Hope Pass on Saturday- near the town of Twin Lakes, Colorado.

It’s a short and steep hike- it gains over 2,600 feet in elevation in less than two and a half miles. The pass is at about 12,100 feet. It is near Twin Lakes. Once at the pass - you can see over to the Twin Lakes and the reservoir. That side of the pass was holding a lot more snow.

I’ve hiked this in early June before and had to navigate multiple large snow field. But this year - I only had to deal with 3 small patches of snow on the trail from Sheep’s Gulch Trailhead up to Hope Pass.

It is a gorgeous hike- with stunning views.
