SAS
Seeking higher vistas
OK, looks like I'm a "GO" for this Saturday! Who's gonna join? Here's the basic plan:
Meet at the Alta C-store in Crystola between 8am and 8:30am
Drive out US-24 West to Antero Junction, then Johnson Village. From there, south towards Nathrop and CR 162 up the mountain to St. Elmo and the trailhead.
From the village of Tincup, we can go north and return to Buena Vista via Cottonwood Pass; or go south to Pitkin and then south to hit HWY 50.
I estimate we'll be at the trailhead around 11am, coming off the trail at Tincup maybe around 3pm?
Bring a lunch and snacks, and plenty of drinking water.
Also, be sure to bring a jacket because it may get quite chilly at elevation (especially if it begins to rain).
