After hiking PT13626 earlier in the day, I waited out a storm in BV before this solo sunset tour from the campsite just above the radio towers. Great views of Antero, Cronin, Grizzly and Boulder. It is always a specail experience to catch a sunset from a mountain.
This gallery and GPX file also contain content from a trip Kristi and I did over Tigger from the tippy top of the Princeton road. Kristi decided Tigger was enough and I continued on to Princeton.
Combining Princeton with Tigger is more fun than doing the out and back on Princeton's standard route
