We faced a long backpacking approach to this mountain. In a previous year we had suffered a grueling, debilitating climb—3000 feet of altitude gain up a steep trail with heavy packs— just to reach our campsite at Lake Como in the Sangre de Cristo mountains. This time we had a solution. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e9b0d692f1c2d4970b7a768/t/5f401d1ec1123475d0f48b18/1604804297450/Capitol+and+Snowmass+2008+079.1+-+Copy.jpg Work - Colorado Here’s the solution. However, when we reached the steepest part of the approach trail, the wrangler was concerned about the horse’s footing and refused to let him climb it, so we had to strap on our packs and schlep them up the rest of the trail to the campsite ourselves. Nevertheless, this strong, handsome guy saved us lots of miles with heavy packs, and we were thankful to have had him as long as we did. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e9b0d692f1c2d4970b7a768/t/5f401ee57e1ff80821b1e729/1598111182147/Capitol+and+Snowmass+2008+060.1+-+Copy.jpg Work - Colorado My home sweet home beneath Capitol Peak. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e9b0d692f1c2d4970b7a768/t/5f401f758c84937ca76e2e51/1598111231200/Capitol+and+Snowmass+2008+034.1+-+Copy.jpg Work - Colorado This was 2008, a wet year with plenty of snow.
