A ho hum little quick hit southwest of Monte Vista. I felt a little silly taking my skis for a walk up here but I did find about 600ft of corn.

A fun summit register! After returning home I just had to call the number to see if there was success. Turns out Thomas met someone and things are moving in the right direction. Just goes to show that putting your energy out to the universe pays off.
