Colorado Trail, Segment 27, Hotel Draw to Cumberland Basin

Day started out beautiful, with high clouds
Clouds built by mid-morning
The San Juan Mountains get a fair amount of rain, keeping things green
Wilderness friend along the way
I got soaked over and over along this 20-mile section
Breathless panoramas above tree line
Drama of light and mountain formations
So remote, and so spectacular
Carpeted meadows of high alpine wildflowers
Big, big views
Serene lake near end of trail segment
486 miles—done! We completed our last CT segment!
