Start of the trek. |
| Scramble: Very
enjoyable trip with the doggy. Fab and I decided to bivy near the base of Brewer
following the scramble, good weather was forcasted for several days. We
left Golden fairly early in order to avoid hiking in the afternoon
heat. The trail brought us to the beautiful upper basin with larch
trees and little ponds. Winston was in heaven, fetching sticks in the
water. We dumped the gear we didn't need and continued up towards the
summit. It was quite easy, a good choice to get Winston used to this
kind of activity. By the time we got back down to our stuff, hikers
were starting to filter through on the trail. We enjoyed this
afternoon, lazing in the sun with a satisfied pooch. We stayed close to
a pond and even took a nap! |
