I enjoyed your report, and the pictures. Very pretty area, the play by play of your climb was excellent. And you getting to see the mountain goat was wonderful. Thanks, 'Poke.

Great pictures, 'Poke. I was particularly interested in that Alpine Spring Beauty. I have never seen that before. Great pictures all around. Thanks.

Thanks for the interesting report and pictures. It was quite funny to read about the lady in the white flowered sundress going up Twin Sisters! (Almost as funny as meeting someone hiking up Flattop in flipflops whistling.gif smile1.gif )

Those pictures of the Collegiate Peaks area looked like some grand vistas and a big sky but I felt the need to rope up to my office chair to even look at some of those climb pictures. ohmy.gif
Had to laugh at that summit log picture, always seems to be something to drag you back to the real world even on vacation.
Thanks for the photos and report and glad you 2 made it down safely.
