4 miles of hiking • 750' elevation gain •
Unexpectedly ended up in Colorado last weekend for a funeral and had a couple hours the first night to get away and clear my head. Was able to walk/jog from my mother's house to this ridge a couple miles away. Ascended through scrubby sagebrush, lodgpole pine, and cactus through periodic snow to the top of the hogsback ridge, which is the first uplift of the Rocky Mountains. Great views of the Front Range and the city of Denver. Watched a nice sunset in full solitude with suburbia and the city beneath.
