Although Lost Creek Wilderness was a bit of a disappointment the day before, the wilderness would have the chance to redeem itself. I woke to the coldest morning yet. It was 42f and although the rain had stopped, the vegetation was wet and unfortunately I had to walk through it. Needless to say I was glad I had my cold weather gear with me. The sun was out but the trail is on the shady side in the morning.
The hiking through the meadow was easy, not steep at all. I saw plenty of flowers and some strange pits with logs across them. I don't know what they were for. Altogether it was about 6 miles of hiking through the meadow including what I had hiked earlier. A couple of miles later is Segment 5 at Long Gulch Trailhead and shortly thereafter is Lost Creek Wilderness, part 2.
This is where the trail really gets good, not just good ... great. Awesome views, sweeping panoramas, pleasant meadows and forests. Each time I thought something was fantastic, the next view was even better. Into the woods and out of the woods. The weather was very cooperative as well .... during the day, anyway.
Every Colorado Trail hiker knows the thing to be concerned about are thunderstorms. You can count on them nearly every day and you don't want to be exposed and definitely not above treeline. I hadn't been above treeline yet, but after a 20 mile day, I chose a campsite which was exposed, overlooking the valley and the town of Jefferson. It was a nice campsite where I could see the clouds and inevitable storm coming. Fortunately, I was able to finish dinner before it started.

My plan for this year was to hike from Breckenridge to Twin Lakes, via Leadville, and then hike the Collegiate Loop. That would've been about 200 miles. I didn't even make it to Twin Lakes. For some reason I just wasn't in to hiking this year. Maybe it was the distance, I don't know. The scenery that I had already enjoyed should have spurred me on but it did not.
The hiking for the day was not difficult. The trail went past a few landmarks. First thing in the morning was Cataract Creek Falls. Shortly thereafter the trail went through a meadow until it passes Camp Hale bunker ruins. At 9300' Camp Hale was a military, winter training camp during WWII. I bet it was cold and snowy!
After crossing East Fork Eagle River, the trail reentered the woods. I took a short break at the James Miller Memorial Bench where I contemplated going into Leadville earlier than planned. There are 3 easy access points to Leadville from the Colorado Trail. I was planning to catch a hitch at the end of Segment 8 via Tennessee Pass off of US24. The trail crosses US24 several miles before Tennessee Pass and that is where I decided to go in.
I caught a ride fairly quickly and made it to the Leadville Hostel where my car was parked. I was done hiking but I wasn't done hiking. Less than 35 miles of hiking for this year. Well those were backpacking miles. After getting off the trail I hung around Leadville for a few days. I day hiked the rest of Segment 8 and a portion of Segment 9. I climbed Mount Elbert (start very early to avoid crowds and possible thunderstorms).
So even though I didn't hike as far as I had planned I still had a good time exploring around Leadville.
Segment 2 is a very dry and exposed section of the Colorado Trail. In 1996 the Buffalo Creek fire destroyed the pine forests and turned a portion of segment 2 into an arid, almost desert like environment. An unexpected area within the mountains of Colorado.
Segment 2 begins with the crossing of the Gudy Gaskill bridge. Gudy was a driving force behind the Colorado Trail. This bridge was built in 1999 in her honor. After years of being "The Mother of the Colorado Trail", Gudy died in July of 2016.
I knew tonight was going to be a dry campsite, so I had to carry extra water. I started hiking again at 1510 ... about 20 minutes later it was 97f. The next time I checked, under the only shade tree, it was only 102f .... it was HOT! with very little shade. I had enough water so I was OK. I passed several decent campsites (dry) but I kept hiking until 1830. Camped by myself.
Segment 2.2 - Flower Festive Drums
Chingay Parade is Singapore's National Event and also the largest street performance and float parade in Asia, which epitomises the dynamism of Singapore's vibrant and multicultural society.
The word Chingay is equivalent to the Mandarin zhuang yi (妆艺), which means "the art of costume and masquerade" in the Hokkien dialect.
The first Chingay street parade took place in February 1973, and this year of 2017, the organiser has included water, fire, snow, and musical parades to celebrate 45 years of Chingay.

We went orange picking last weekend.
The deal was pick and eat as many oranges as you want, but eat in the owners restaurant. It seems to be a popular trip for many Chinese.

This is probably the sketchiest segment of U.S. highway I've ever driven in Colorado. I'd gotten around a bunch of slow traffic a bit earlier, but I didn't mind this time when it all slowed down in front of me. That dropoff to the left goes straight down about a thousand feet. Take a bad turn here, and you won't stop for a while. And then you'll stop all at once very suddenly.
This is what the guys were thinking of when they started calling US 550 the "Million Dollar Highway," though nobody remembers whether the name refers to how much the highway cost to build or how much silver wound up hauled along it. One story says an early traveler said you couldn't pay him a million dollars to take this road again.
Construction of this section of road from Red Mountain Pass to the town of Ouray was started in 1880, just as the silver miners were starting to inch their way up this canyon. The mines took off quickly, but the wagon company that meant to build this road ran out of money in 1882 when the road was still half done. A man named Otto Mears took over the project, then, and finished it only a year later. He operated this as a toll road well into the 20th century until the 1920s, when the Federal Government absorbed it into the new U.S. highway system and designated it part of US 550.

Segment 10
random spot to Segment 11 Interlaken Trailhead
Twin Lakes reservoir comprises two lakes. The trail crosses a dam at the far side of the larger lake. There are numerous recreation activities here. Camping possibilities are also abundant. Interlaken Historic Resort is located on the far side.
Phone battery was almost dead but just enough to reserve a room for Friday night at Inn the Clouds hostel in Leadville. Tonight I camped near Mount Massive Trailhead. Camping is allowed almost everywhere on Halfmoon Creek Road. The night before I climbed Elbert a few years ago, I camped along the road so I had a spot in mind that overlooked the creek. Unfortunately, someone turned in there just as I drove up. Oh well, I found another spot.
14.8 trail miles for the day; +1 to hike back to my car.
I discovered a segment of primitive trestle bridge that held the remaining fragments of railway predominantly used in the early 1900s on my drive home from family friends home. Although questionable stable, the weathered, jagged railroad ties that cornered the forest before collapsing halfway across a river bed needed to be captured. However, my quest for an image rich in color was unveiled just on the other side of the final standing beam. This photo focused on abstract defacement found on the metal sheet that conjoins the supporting beams to the underlying structure. This particular sheet was hanging, holding a single tie to dangle above the rapids while revealing the artistic additives used to enhance and articulate the vibrancy that the abandoned bridge once carried.
A clear shot was essential because I felt as if I was risking my life standing on the edge of this trestle on a windy, overcast day. Therefore, I used a 1/1600 shutter speed to halt the motion and an 800 ISO paired with an f/4.2 aperture to brighten the photo due to the lost light associated with faster shutter speed. I decided to zoom in and capture the texture associated with the weathered metal instead of capturing the entire scene, as I felt it leaves the viewer open to more abstract interpretation. Additionally, I increased the luminescence on the blue’s as I thought they were much more vibrant than they showed up on the image and wanted to share the art I saw rather than just the picture I took.
