I hiked to the peak of Ypsilon in 2016. This is a great shot!

Did C-C-Y in 2011. I also made it almost all the way up to Spectacle Lakes that same year - I've heard the view from the lakes is incredible, but there was just a bit too much snow up there yet and wasn't safe enough to try to get up the last bit.

I'm trying to remember if I did Spectacle Lakes or Crystal Lake on one of my trips out there, but my Dad is the one that has the photographic memory when it comes to RMNP. I'll have to ask him. The C-C-Y hike was a great one. We attempted Longs a few days later, but had to stop at the keyhole due to ice and snow on the route past it.

I was lucky enough to have a summer internship in the park, so I had a little over 2 months to get a lot of great hikes in. I managed to summit CCY, Longs, Ida, Flattop/Hallett along with a lot of other stuff like trying to get up to Spectacle, or hiking up to Frozen Lake. That was a magical summer.

I lived in Colorado Springs for a time years ago, and made side trips to the park to play with the sheep nearly every time I had to go to Denver.

The title says 2160x2700 but it links to a 1728x2160 picture.

I did Flattop and Hallett in 2007 that was one of my favorites. Frozen lake was a destination we had planned one tirp but somehow ended up at Green Lake on accident. We buy all the little trail tags, I'll have to see if I ever got up to frozen or Ida. I haven't been to the park since 2019. Hopefully I'll be able to go again soon.

Anyone know if that chute is skiable? Looks pinched in the middle but curious...

Was this a volcano at some point or is it just a trick of the light/shadows? Reminds me of Mt St Helens after a third of it was blown away. Admittedly I know absolutely nothing about mountains coming from NE Texas, lol.
