Thoroughly enjoyed all the great DSNGRR scenery and especially the gorgeous views from the trail. The Weminuche is one of the most impressive wilderness areas in Colorado, IMHO. Thanks for the scenery and some good memories of the Weminuche. Prudent to bail ahead of that severe weather, we've all done it at one time or the other. I've enjoyed many summers since 2006 volunteering with the CTF and enjoyed every moment on the trail, even working on those segments that kicked my rear end. Good luck on your CT through hike this summer!

Nice job on surviving the heat and completing the trip. Have a great day.
