Backpacking In Snowmass



Marty, my brother-in-law Corey, and myself took a one night backpacking trip in Snowmass.



The day we hiked in was a beautiful fall day in Colorado. The leaves were falling from the golden aspen trees all around us.



This was Corpie's first backpacking trip. One of the highlights for Corey was eating his beef stew once we set up camp!



The plan of our trip was to hike up to Snowmass lake and then up to the top of Snowmass Mountain. It would have been our first 14ner. However, the weather decided it didn't want us to hike any further. It poured rain all night, so the next morning we hiked 6 miles out. Corey said he hasn't even been as wet in the shower as he was when we were hiking.



Although it rained during the night and the next day, the three of us had a really great time. Being in the heart of the mountains always is a refreshing time.
