Grandeur Peak

 ⚘⚘⚘⚘ A view from Grandeur Peak. Length: 5.6 miles. Elevation gain: 2,365 ft. Date hiked: 5/16/21 In good news, this time, when we hiked, there were no rattle snakes along the trail. Just lots of people and their four legged friends. There were very cute dogs on this trail who were well-behaved and thankful for an adventure. So, it got four flowers. It was a good little hike, but too many people and really rather quite dry.  We began this hike at about 3:30 in the afternoon. It was one of those Saturdays that begged for a hike, along with house and yard work. So, we left a little later. It was hot and sunny. The wild flowers were alive with no snakes! For the record, the last time we did this hike, there was a rattlesnake gliding along the side of the trail. I didn't turn around and go home. But, I did make haste past the snake. Perhaps the fastest I have ever hiked in my life. Note to self: do this hike in the winter or early spring prior to the rattlesnakes inhabiting the mountai
