..........ok, a TON!
Hit the trails again yesterday with some people from work and theluke19. We headed up Georgia Pass outside of Jefferson, CO to head over to the Breckenridge area where we were going to drive up the ski area at Breckenridge to Peak 10.
It was a beautiful day to escape the heat of the city and get up in the mountains from some spectacular views.
Top of Georgia Pass
We had 5 vehicles in our group:
A Jeep Wrangler (Sahara Edition), Lexus Landcruiser, Hummer H1, my '97 and theluke19's '05 Sportrac.
Water goes to one side or the other:
The H1 never goes on the trail without the hood coming up:
He discovered the oil fill cap went missing. We rigged something up with the bottom of a water bottle and some bailing wire to make a temporary cap.
We set off intending to do this ribbon of trail called Glacier Ridge but it got closed down:
Stopped at a little lookout point for a bit:
The first of 3 fun water holes to play in:
After some lunch in Frisco, we headed out to the Breckenridge ski resort to climb to the top. The trail isn't well identified that you can drive up to the top, but there is a clear and established road the whole way up.
These tracks point straight at an old weather station on the spine of the mountain ahead of us- that's where we are going:
The actual road to the top had a ton of fun switch backs.
An old mine building:
This pic looks down to where the pic of the tracks pointed at the weather station was taken:
Near the top:
Here are all the switchbacks coming up:

Matchbox cars????:
Before we headed all the way down, I had to get a picture with my Ex at the top of a lift:
The group at the end:
And then on the way home I decided to head up Loveland Pass instead of taking I-70 straight home:
Awesome way to spend the day. Hope to get a couple more in before winter takes over.
