In Molas Pass

Ken and Dave came out to visit last week. We drove up to Telluride via Durango-Silverton-Ouray.

We'd hoped to climb Mt. Sneffels. If it hadn't been for Suzanne and the Bronco, Camp Bird Road might have been enough to stop us.

As it was we reached the saddle, about 600 ft below the summit. By then we'd experienced a little light rain, pea-sized hail and some distant thunder. The long views showed a couple of thunderheads coming our way, so we decided to try again another time.

This was our first attempt on a Colorado fourteener. I bet it won't be the last.
