We came across an interesting oddity from the realm of consumer electronics: a fake seven-segment LED display. Just for fun, we made our own version too.

"You have to hike through Pennsylvania to get to the good stuff."
A reference to the Appalachian Trail. PA is nothing spectacular as hiking goes and is mostly known for its abundant rocks. In the summer it is hot and humid and about the only thing going for PA is the halfway point of the AT where long distance hikers have a custom of eating a half-gallon of ice cream.
With the exception (mostly) of the Cochetopa Creek, which I thoroughly enjoyed hiking, this year's hike was nothing spectacular. Long waterless stretches, dirt road walking, cattle country, etc. was all about to change as I headed toward San Luis Peak and above treeline.
I took a break at the saddle in a small depression out of the wind. Another hiker was there who stashed his pack while he climbed San Luis Peak. As mentioned before, San Luis is another 14er and probably the easiest accessible one via the Colorado Trail. The saddle is at 12,612 ft and the Peak is just another 1400' in elevation gain. The 2.5 mile roundtrip would probably take several hours. Maybe another time.
After the saddle, the trail stayed above treeline and crossed a number of additional saddles. I encountered a handful of dayhikers traversing what I call 1/2 fishbowls. You can usually see the footpath on the sidehill as it 1/2 circles around between the saddles. Many dead trees were visible down the valleys but the views were astounding.

Day 3
Segment 10 random spot to Segment 11 Interlaken Trailhead
Into Segment 11. A few years ago, I climbed Mount Elbert and hit the trail via the Mount Elbert Cutoff Trail. The trailhead was nearby. It was very dark when I started then. There were a few switchbacks but then the trail leveled out before the intersection with the North Mount Elbert Trail. A couple of dayhikers continued up Elbert. (Mount Elbert is the second highest in the lower 48 at 14,440 feet, Mount Massive is a close third. It can be a difficult hike if not prepared. I would suggest starting very early. Not only to lessen the threat of afternoon thunderstorms but also to avoid too many hikers standing on the summit.)
There were a number of streams to cross and the trail was actually quite nice. Lots of Aspens but unfortunately they were still mostly green. A side trail leads to Twin Lakes Village, a small town with a general store for resupply or a mail drop. There is also a small Historic District with several historic buildings. Stop in the visitor center; you might be able to charge your phone. The town can also be accessed when the trail crosses under CO82. I didn't need to go there since I was finishing on the other side of Twin Lakes.
The hike around Twin Lakes isn't too exciting but it also isn't difficult. It is about 6 miles of flat, sandy and totally exposed to the sun, hiking. Great views of the mountains though. I stopped for a short break near Mount Elbert Power Plant at a very small Aspen grove. This is the last shade for about 3.5 miles until past the dam. I made good time and finally made it back to the car.

Day 5 random campsite (Segment 19) to random campsite (Segment 20)
Not a cloud in sight ... anywhere.
Started off chilly and in the 40s. The sun was shining brightly though, so it warmed up quickly. Saw a large pine tree which reminded me of Sequoias ... this was still CO right? There were several more miles in the large meadow/valley. I noticed a fenced area which might have been a spring, but a small sign had DEATH scribed on it. Then up and over a short bump which was through an aspen grove. The trail finally wandered down to Cochetopa Creek.
Cochetopa Creek was flowing very well. The previous few days had intermittent water sources. That would not be a problem today as the trail followed this creek for many miles. I thought I would have to ford it but someone had put a log over it to bridge the gap. Although this area was completely exposed, it was very enjoyable hiking. Easy, unique terrain, fall colors and a meandering creek. One of my favorite sections so far. Did encounter some steep sidehill and had some glimpses of Organ Mountain. San Luis Peak is hiding behind.
A few miles before the end of Segment 19, the trail entered La Garita Wilderness. Wilderness Areas are specially designated areas that remain undeveloped and maintain primeval character. There are additional restrictions to visiting and on the Colorado Trail bicycles are not allowed in Wilderness Areas.

On our side, it was deep cold shade. When we started our hike, it was 24 degrees and it "warmed" up to 32. We really could have used some of that sun!
