Calypso Cascade Elev. 9,200 ft.




Successful trial upload from my Blackberry at Rocky Mountain National Park, Wild Basin area. First day out in the park, "warm up" hike with B on his 7th birthday, we did about 5 miles, topping out at 9100'. It was a perfect hike to help him remember how to pace himself, hydrate, rest when needed, and descend rocky trails with sure footing. He enjoyed having his own camera to shoot whatever he wanted...mostly chipmunks and waterfalls. Enjoyable for me because of how well my boots and pack seem to be broken in already, the terrific weather, and the energetic and happy-go-lucky company of my son who finds delight in the smallest of things.
