Chris was meticulous in his planning of the backpacking trip-acquiring permits, planning and sharing route, communicating conditions prior to hike and researching camping spots. Conditions were perfect, views spectacular, and the steep passes challenged me physically. I’ve done quite a bit of backpacking across CO and this trip was one of the best. Such a great group to hike with! Grateful to find a knowledgeable and fun group of fellow backpackers to share the beauty of the wilderness.
