Today was hard. Brent says it's all in my head, but I still say it was hard! There were 2 2,800 foot climbs today. We only did 20 miles, but they felt long.
Today we were in the Collegiate Peaks Wilderness. Brent has been here a couple of times before, once with Scott, and the fabled "lost in the wilderness, and Janelle has to play tomorrow!" trek with Janelle and Nathan. We didn't have many views today, because tree line is high here (we were at 12,000 feet, and still in trees!), but the few times we could see there were views of Harvard, Yale, and Missouri peaks. In the afternoon, we took a long break by North Cottonwood Creek, because I 
was tired. We camped at about 10,500 feet, after our 3rd climb of the day, in a forest of live (!) ponderosa pines. Quite a treat!
