Sometimes you just have to "do it." On Monday, September 7, 2009 my son Will and I just "did it." We hiked from Bear Lake in RMNP, CO to Grand Lake, spent the night, and hiked back to Bear Lake the next day. That's 40 miles round trip. Please go to my trail blogging site (opens a new window) for a full description of the trip.
Every once and a while, you do something really smart. And then, just to keep things in balance, every once in a while you do something really, uh, NOT smart.
And then occasionally, you do something that you're not really sure was smart or not smart (ok, dumb).
On Monday, Sept 7 (Labor day : ), Will and I began our "we're not really sure if it was a smart thing to do but we had fun mostly and lived to tell about it" epic hike. The short version of our trip was to start hiking from Bear Lake, RMNP, hike over the continental divide to Grand Lake, and spend the night there in a motel. Around 20 miles.
And then, the next day, hike back to Bear Lake by a different route of another 20 miles.
