The turnaround for today’s hike along the Highline Canal comes where it always does: At the horseshoe curve where a working ranch interrupts access to the trail for a mile or so before it resumes over by C-470. It was breakfast time when I got there this morning, as evidenced by the local residents enjoying their hay.
I actually don’t mind the interruption because it’s two miles in and therefore a good halfway point for a four-mile hike, which is about my usual.

If I can convince my better half to take the 2-hour drive up to RMNP today, there may be more pix from the Continental Divide @MilnerPass. It is leaf peeping season, after all. Today is predicted to be another hot one down here on the flat lands. Yesterday we broke a record with a high temp over 90F. Today, likely the same.
Up there? It could be snowing for all I know. Dress in layers, that’s the ticket. In the meantime, you’ll have to settle for some pix of my favorite trail in all the world, taken a few years back, here.
