Chicago Creek-Echo Lake
Clouds covered much of the top to the mountians in the front range. not the best views on top, and dang cold, yet warm in the valley below. Wonderful hike. Was good to finally reach the summit after failing to summit 3 years ago.
4/21/06 - Started at Guanella Pass and climbed the gentle south slopes of Gray Wolf after summitting Mount Spalding on a very cold, windy day.
3/9/14 - Accessed Guanella Pass from the south (Grant side) and had to park more than 6 miles away due to new snow. This made for a 22 mile round trip for Gray Wolf & Spalding... and my husband came down with the flu and turned around just above the flats below Bierstadt leaving me all the joy of trailbreaking (relentless all the way to the summits).

Friday the 13th
I started from Guanella Pass and started slogging through the willows in the Scott Gomer Creek drainage. The wind picked up as I ascended into the tundra. Beautiful bluebird day.

Long day
Started from West Chicago Creek trailhead, aiming for Mt Evans and Gray Wolf Mountain. Was delayed due to "map" issues, so settled for Mt Spalding and Gray Wolf Mountain instead. It was still a 16.2 mile trek, although through beautiful country.

great day
combined with Spalding from Summit Lake. Perfect blues skies, perfect temps. Nice hike. Cool summit. Views over the Black Wall into Chicago basin were cool.
Great hike from Echo. Started Early and didn't see anyone until it hit the trail on the return. From that point on there was a constant stream of people but still nothing like Guanella Pass.

We climbed Gray Wolf from Guanella Pass under crystal-blue skies with very calm winds. It felt like cheating! We went on to climb Spalding before returning to the pass.

Hell's Hole trailA long and satisfying day. Had a nap in the sun at 12,000' or so; couldn't ask for better. I even found my hat, just where I left it.
