The start of the Kelly Flats trail (CO-14 trailhead) |
Heart Attack Hill |
Working our way up the hill - first step. |
Second obstacle set |
Yes, it is as steep as it looks. |
The last stretch to the top. It has concrete and is easier. |
Coming up the last section (the concrete surface) |
The clouds are starting to get dark on the bottom. |
The group split up at The Chutes, heading back for a water bottle, but not without good discussion. |
Back to the concrete slab |
On the concrete slab - 23 Degree slope. |
Rain in the area. |
with more to come. View to the south from Picken's Point |
From the CO-14 Kelly Flats trailhead we headed west on CO-14 to Rustic / Glen Echo and turned north to Red Feather, making a stop at "Picken's Point" |
North of Red Feather the skies cleared and we were taking the back road out of the area. |
Until we saw a sign for "Lost Lake 1 Mile" It was out of the way but it was close so why not. It was not high on the scenery scale. Perhaps it's more attractive in the spring with higher water. |
From Lost Lake the Creedmore Lakes were only 4 or 5 miles further out of the way. Another "why not" and we found our way to the parking area. |
A nice jump in the scenery scale. |
