  • Miles Hiked:  3.4
  • Elevation Gain:  2,650'
  • Hiking Partner(s):  None
• Description:
  • I had been commuting to Dallas (TX) for the past two months, so when I returned to Colorado for good I decided to take a couple of days off from work.  Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate to go snow climbing or to the high country, so I simply went down to Colorado Springs (CO) and did the incline and Rocky Mountain.  The last time I hiked the incline was May 2007, and my previous visit to Rocky Mountain was back in April 2005.  I took my camera along this time.
