Posted this on the old board and got a good response. Thought I'd see what happens here.
Anyway, wife and I are going to be in Summit Co, CO next week for several days to day hike. We are a couple of in their 60s ornery obsessive hiking Missouri flatlanders. Been pouring through a couple of hiking books and are just about overwhelmed at the possibilities. Any suggestions. We don't want to be too intense, but anticipate a good earlier in the day hike (up to 6 or so miles round trip - suspect hiking at maybe a mile and a half an hour given excessive picture taking) and, if time permits, messing around at the Dillon Res in the evening or some such thing. Wife is really anticipating adding to her flower life list (594 so far) so that is important (this is where the excessive picture taking enters). Any suggestions?
We've been to RMNP and hiked there so we know acclimation, sun, and those types of things. Thanks
