. The critters along the trail are well fed. they ran right to us wanting food. It took us about 3 1/2 hours to reach the summit, the views were incredible and we shared it with a nice group of other hikers. The round trip was just over 6 hours and we made it off the mountain right as the rain came in. We cant wait to get back to climb La Plata Name: aspen 068.jpg
