The Birthday Tour - Washington Pass - 4/19/03
This popular tour is short but scenic. It starts at the Blue Lake Trailhead and dumps you out at the hairpin (the trailhead for Kangaroo Pass). Seven (7!) of us showed up at the P&R at 4:30 (!) and raced to the Bunny Restaurant to be first in line when they opened for breakfast. You know how that line can get sometimes...
Liberty Bell, Concord and Lexington Spires.
Some folks heading up Early Winter Spires.
The Wine Spires and Silver Star can be seen in the distant haze over Sam's shoulder. Click here for the view from there to here.
